As a non tech 69 woman can you tell me what this adapter would be called let’s say on Amazon? Thank you!
Here's an example. I've got a similar one, but it came with a USB-C hub for use if I wanted to connect it to a USB-A port on a computer.

You could use the USB-C to USB-C cable that came with your iPad in the port there, and then connect the plug to your computer.
Or you could find a USB-A to USB-C cable. I've gotten some really cheap although quality can be all over the place. I've had expensive cables that were junk and some really cheap ones that were rock solid. I personally like Monoprice cables as they provide good value. This is just an example that looks like it's at a good price point. There are literally hundreds of these (maybe thousands?) for sale on Amazon.

There are issues with data transfer speeds, but the vast majority of people use USB 2.0 spec'ed cables. That's what Apple provides in the box with iPads.
