The App Store cannot be deleted from the iPad. Restrictions has been replaced by Screentime in the settings. Content and Privacy Restrictions would be where the App Store might be disabled.


Otherwise, swipe from screen to screen and look for it It could be hidden in a folder. You might be able to find it using a Spotlight Search. Swipe down for the middle of any home screen to get to the search. Type in App Store in the text field. When the app shows up, it will show the folder name to the right, if it is hidden in a folder.


You can also reset the home screen layout which may restore it as long as it isn’t restricted. Settings>General>Reset>Reset home screen layout. Note that this will return the home screen to out of the box condition and any app structure on the home screen will be destroyed.
