Copying and pasting regular text is the easiest thing to do on your iPhone. You basically select the text to copy and choose the copy option.

You can use copy and paste for links, photos, and messages. All it takes to copy an item on your iPhone is to tap and hold on to that item and choose Copy. In certain apps, you open the Share menu and then tap Copy to copy your item.
