How to programmatically come to rootViewController without using UINavigationController

I'm using swift in iOS. I have to navigate back to my rootViewController from the current UIViewController by clicking on a button and I am not using UINavigationController.

I have made action on a button in my root rootViewController which triggers the segue and goes from root UIViewController to the next VC by the following code:

performSegue(withIdentifier: "segueSignUp", sender: nil)

I can't find any answers to it without the navigation controller.

If you have a segue and you are presenting modally the next ViewController you can dismiss it.

@IBAction func buttonClicked(_ sender: UIButton) {
    self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

But if you are very down in the chain of viewController has presented few more and want to return to root then you can do a unwindSegue 

@IBAction func unwindFromViewController(_ sender: UIStoryboardSegue) {
}

Try this in your button action:

@IBAction func buttonClicked(_ sender: UIButton) {
    self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

You could implement unwind segue. In RootController:

@IBAction func unwindFromViewController(_ sender: UIStoryboardSegue) { }

In nextVC in IB, connect the button to exit button at top of VC window in IB and select unwindFromViewController
