The App Store app is not one of the apps that can be deleted. The usual reason for it not being visible is due to a restriction on purchasing. See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201304#prevent-purchases


If that is not the cause, try using Search to see if that will locate it: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201285


The iTunes Store app can be deleted (but if both are missing it is likely due to the purchasing restriction. If not, see the following from Delete built-in Apple apps from the Home screen on your iOS 14 or iPadOS device or Apple Watch - Apple Support
