How does a capacitor smooth energy?

Smoothing capacitors are used to suppress voltage ripples, usually on power supply lines. They do this by periodically storing and replenishing energy. The image below shows a very common use case of these capacitors in a full bridge rectifier. As you can see, the smoothing capacitor discharges and replenishes energy when the output voltage drops.

how does the filter capacitor work in a rectifier circuit?

So here you are mostly right on the second part. Basically capacitor doesn''t allow a sudden change in voltage. So your capacitor is acting as a temporary bank. So when the rectifier output pulse reaches lower value the capacitor starts providing that excess voltage and at your LOAD you will see constant voltage (approximately constant).
