Can anyone with knowledge in the construction industry explain the purpose of the foundation cages?

I have a rough idea, but would like to know like.

It is a tied reinforced bar cage which is embedded within the cast concrete to provide additional tensile strength

I hope someone tells that one kneeling down that he's going to be embedded in concrete

Those cages would normally sit on steel piles which are driven into the ground and filled with concrete,i am not 100% certain but as it is chalk they might not need the piles or they have already been driven in.
