If a device is only rooted, you can go back to the default version of a phone. In this situation, unrooting can be easy. The SuperSU app can make unrooting easy by removing roots and replace stock recovery of Android. A phone with a custom ROM or Xposed Framework may need alteration of individual parts in the system.
Sometimes, the above methods will not work appropriately because your device needs stock recovery. Try to find a stock framework of your device to bring it back to an unrooted state.
