It's hard to understand your English. I think your asking if you can create another user like root. The answer is yes.

As root:

1. useradd -u 0 -g 1 -c "Another Super-User" - s /bin/ksh root1
2. passwd root1

/etc/passwd file should have an entry like this below

root1:x:0:1:Another Super-User:/:/bin/ksh

-X

Of course, just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should. This would be a security concern on most servers. Suggest you create a normal user that has su privs or put the new user in the wheel group (there are other options also - but without knowing what version of Solaris...)
