The App Store app is not one of the apps that can be deleted but it can be removed from the Home Screen. Go to the App Library (swipe left past your last Home Screen). From there you can touch and hold an app and slide it to the Home Screen.

Another reason for it not being visible is due to a restriction on purchasing. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time, tap Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap iTunes & App Store Purchases, choose a setting and set to Allow. Also see the following Apple Support article for more information: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

It has not been deleted.

• It may have been removed from your screen and placed in the App Library.

• Or you have restrictions on your device either from an Organizer in a Family Plan or on your phone at Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Installing Apps. This must be set to Allow.
