My iPad suddenly stopped sending or receiving messages. Messages still works on my iPhone, but the pad can neither send nor receive. Any suggestions?

You must explicitly enable/verify Text Message Forwarding for your iPad on your iPhone.
On your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.
Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON

Fault finding if needed:

Thank you for your clear instructions. When I follow your directions I am told my Apple account doesn’t support two-factor authentication, which apparently is required. It doesn’t offer the option of setting up two-factor. This appears to be somehow related to the update to IOS 14.0.1.
