Somewhere I heard that one of the Root Servers allows you to take a zone

Is it true? If yes then can anyone please guide me which Root DNS Server
is allowing for the same?

You can find out for yourself (see below). I usually use the F root since
I know the ISC has a long-term policy of allowing zone transfers.

Some people like to slave the root zone on their recursive servers instead
of using the root zone hints. This is not the same as looking or feeling
like a root server. If you want to actually look and feel like a root
server, talk to ICANN who are very liberal in allowing sites to host
instances of the L root.
