Hello,
It appears you cannot find your App Store app. This issue is mentioned in this support article --> Download apps and games on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Certain built-in apps cannot be deleted so it is somewhere on your device. It can be hidden* by you, or by an administrator if your device is managed by an education or business institution. In the latter case you need to contact the administrator.
See if you hid it with restrictions:
Screen Time - Allowed apps Use parental controls on your child's iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
- "If you turn off an app or feature, it won’t delete it, it’s just temporarily hidden from your Home screen."
- Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > [Enter passcode] > Allowed Apps
- Settings > Screen Time, scroll down, then turn off "Share across Devices"
See if it is in your App Library -->
Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone [iOS14] - Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone - Apple Support
"Search for it ( Use Spotlight Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support ). Swipe down from the middle of any home screen and type the name of the app into the search field at the top of the screen. If it is in a folder, it will show the folder on the right of the app name after you tap on the app when it appears in the search."
"Reset the Home screen layout which will return the [app] to the home screen as long as it isn’t restricted. When you do this, it returns the home screen to out of the box condition and it will destroy any folders you had on the home screen. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home screen layout."

After you press the minus button, you will see another confirmation asking if you want to remove it from the Home Screen or Cancel the operations. It cannot be deleted, so you will find it in your App Library, by swiping all the way to the left. You can either swipe down on the screen to view apps alphabetically or search for App Store in the field there, then move it back to one of your Home Screens.

That just means its in the App Library. Scroll all the way to the right most screen, and look for it there. When you find it, you can drag it back to any Home Screen you want it on.

Remove how? What exactly did you do?
You cannot delete the App Store from an iPhone, but you can hide it.
What you need to do to get it back will depend on what you "accidentally" did.
Explain what you did, and someone may be able to help you get it back.
