How to return to Home Screen?

I recently upgraded to a 10th Generation 10.9-inch iPad. Unlike my previous iPad, this one does not have a button on the side that you can press to return to the Home Screen. So when I am on an app, what do I click to exit the app and return to the Home Screen? Apologies in advance if this seems like a dumb question. Thanks.

Swipe the screen up from the bottom center. This is the new “gesture” to return to the Home Screen.

Just swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
