The App Store app is not one of the built-in apps that can be deleted.


The usual reason for it not being visible is due to a restriction on purchasing. See: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


If that isn't the reason, try to see if Search will locate it: Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
