How to view application icons on Macbook Pro (purchased in 2020)

I just set up my Macbook Pro and it doesn't have the key that enables you too see all your applications (the icons of the applications). My old Macbook had this key, which looks like a bunch of rectangles. How do I get to the screen where I can see all my application icons on my new MacBook?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15
