The copied message will remain on your clipboard until you copy another thing. Therefore, the copied message can be sent to several people without needing to go back to the original message.
Meaning, you can also copy a message from your Messages application and paste it in a different platform that allows you to type. WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger are examples here.
Do you have Handoff enabled? And have you linked your iPhone and iPad for instance? Then copying a message on your iPhone will even allow you to paste it on your iPad.
