I am developing a c based application which needs authenticating the user as a root- user.

By giving a link to a system related file or creating a file in some location so that when i open my application authentication of the root user should be done in a similar way as that of NFS or HTTP.
Your question is very unclear, especially since neither NFS nor HTTP authenticate the root user by default.
If you'd like to prompt for a password for authentication, then you should be using PAM to process it.
