Since the App Store app cannot be deleted, it is either hidden or disabled due to restrictions.


First, go to the Settings app > Screen Time > Content and Privacy Restrictions > iTunes and App Store Purchases > Make sure Installing Apps is set to Allow.


Then, on your Home Screen keep swiping left until you reach the App Library. From there in the top search for the App Store and drag it back to your app pages.
