The root note is the key note of the scale i.e. for C major the root note is C. The fingering I would use for that scale is
e ----i--m-------------
B -------m--p---------
G ----i--r---p--------
D ----i--r---p--------
A ----i--m--p--------
E ------m---p--------
where i=index, m=middle, r=ring, p=pinky, hope that makes sense.
Scotty's diagram shows exactly the same scale except it is for B major but it also shows the order the notes should be played in.
