How do I get the App Store back on my phone?

I somehow removed the App Store from my phone many years back. So now none of my apps are able to update. And when I go on Safari to look up the App Store it prompts to Safari is unable to open this website. I’m wondering how do I get the App Store back on my phone? This is been very difficult and frustrating and it renders my phone useless to everything but talk text web browsing and a few apps that still work.

The App Store is not one of the built-in apps that can be deleted. The usual reason for it not being visible is if a restriction has been placed on purchasing. See: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
