The originals of Most Applications are (or should be) in the

/Applications

folder. You can drag it from there to the Dock and it will "stick" (actually an Alias will stick) in the Dock for your convenience.

Inside the /Applications folder provide additional protections and other benefits. If you find that Icon in the Downloads folder, you should move it to:

/Applications or

/Applications/Utilities
