iMessage vs Message

I want to understand iMessage and Message. How do I differentiate while sending a message whether it will be an iMessage or just Message?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

iMessages are used between iOS devices, which an SMS is used to a non-iOS device, such as an Android. The iPhone can differentiate between the two as needed.
