The App Store cannot be deleted. You could have moved it off the Home Screen, in which case look for it in the App Library and drag it back.


or you could have restricted it in Settings ➡️ ScreenTime ➡️ Content & Privacy Restrictions ➡️ iTunes and App Store Purchases ➡️ Installing Apps, and make sure its set to Allow.
