The parts squeeze together
The bumps on top of a brick are a tiny bit too big for the space they push into. The plastic bends the smallest amount and squeezes back. That squeeze is the grip.

If the bump were a tiny bit too small, what would happen when you pick up your build?
Rubbing holds it still
Squeezed surfaces rub against each other. Rubbing fights sliding. So the brick stays where you put it until you pull on purpose.
Just right, not too tight
Too loose and your build falls apart. Too tight and small hands cannot pull it apart. Engineers call the just-right grip clutch power.
