Apps can be removed from the home screen without being deleted. Go to the App Library (swipe left past your last home screen). From there you can touch and hold an app and slide it left back to the home screen.
If it is one of the apps that can be deleted, see the following from Remove built-in Apple apps from the Home screen on your iOS 10 device or Apple Watch - Apple Support
