Safari cannot be deleted, so it is most likely one of these 2 reasons:

In your App Library - Swipe all the way to the left and search for safari.

Find and use your apps in App Library on iPad - Apple Support

Restricted by Screen Time - Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps > Safari, and make sure the switch is on.
