From closest to farthest: Io (volcanic "Pizza" moon), Europa (frozen water moon), Ganymede (Moon-like moon), and Callisto (Moon-like moon). When people say things about Jupiter's 32 moons or something like that, they're all asteroids except for these base four.

Another viewpoint: Even if some moons are captured asteroids, they are still

called "moons" by professional astronomers.

Jupiter has over 60 moons (natural satellites). The four named above are certainly the main ones.
