You cannot delete the App Store app on your phone. If you could, you would be rendering your smartphone to a phone only. You may have restricted it in screen time. Take a look at this.

If you didn’t restrict it, it may be hidden in a folder. Do a search for it. If it is in a folder, the name of the folder will appear to the right of the app icon.
