You did not tell us and therefore I have to assume that you have iOS version 14.x. You probably accidentally removed the app from the Home Screen(s) but did not delete it. This is because the App Store app cannot be deleted and is part of the iOS. Here is how to find it:

SWIPE LEFT till you reach the last screen which will be the APP LIBRARY. Locate the Utilities Folder and find the App Store app in it. TOUCH & HOLD the App Store app and then DRAG it to the desired home screen.
