Somehow I deleted the App Store icon off my screen. I know the App Store is still there but I would like to put it back on my screen. How?

Hi Louanna1022,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Community. It sounds like you want to unhide the App Store App so that you can use it again.Â
As it turns out, there are a few ways to hide your apps, but you can't delete the App Store App. It sounds like it may be hidden and in that case, it would remain in your App Library. If you're running iOS 14 or later, can you find it using the steps in Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone using the sections "Search for an app in the App Library." Once you find it you can press on it and select "Add to Home Screen."
After that, if don't see it in the app library, can you let us know what happens when you search for the app by Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
We hope that helps with your question and take care!
