Why?
If the user knows the root password, there is no need.
If sudo is cofigured correctly, there is no need to "su - root" since
the user can already run the needed commands.
"man sodu" should explain how to configure sudo and the locatio of the
configuration file.
Did you stop to think that you might not be permitted to do this with
sudo or that the "sudo su - root" may need to be defined in the
configuatio file or that the entire su command mat need to be quoted,
etc. So that sudo would understsnd?

I know that sudo is for running commands with root privileges but
this idea is about typing "sudo su -" and use one's password and not
root's.
That's all...

When prompted, enter the root password.
sudo is to permit regular users to run priviledged commands. What
you
are trying td is overly complex and redundant.
Not necessarily. A lot of places want more security, and locking
down root.
