By far the easiest method to trigger and save a screenshot is to set-up and use the corner-swipe gesture.

Settings > Multitasking & Gestures >

Swipe Finger from Corner - set to ON
Bottom Left Corner - select as required
Bottom Right Corner - select as required

You can also trigger a screenshot using an Apple Pencil:

Settings > Apple Pencil > [Pencil Gestures]

Bottom Left Corner - select as required
Bottom Right Corner - select as required

The other ways to trigger a screenshot from an iPad are described here:

By definition, a screenshot will capture the entire screen. If you only wish to capture part of the screen, you’ll need to crop the captured image using the markup tools:
