The image we see in a plane mirror is virtual and is laterally inverted.
A virtual image is one where the light rays appear to diverge from the image location but do not actually pass through it. Virtual images cannot be projected onto a screen. A plane mirror always forms a virtual image. Lateral inversion means that the image is reversed from left to right relative to the object. The image formed by a plane mirror is also upright and the same size as the object, and located at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front.
Real images are formed when light rays actually converge at the image location, and they can be projected onto a screen (and thus photographed directly). Examples include images formed by converging lenses in cameras or projectors, or by concave mirrors when the object is placed outside the focal point.
