Widgets are implemented differently on iPad and iPhone - the available features for each being documented in the respective User Guide:

Apple - Support - Manuals


The ability to freely place Widgets on Home Screens is a feature of iOS14 for iPhone. iPadOS14 instead allows Widgets to be pinned to the first Home Screen - this feature not being available to iPhone.
