after applying the im2bw(img,graythresh(img)) function i get the following image
but the image is not smooth enough after applying thining on the said image i get the following
so how to get rid of extra roots from the thin image and get smooth signature skeleton

It looks like you need to clean up the binary image a little before thinning.
This worked for me:
bw = im2bw(img,graythresh(img));
% remove some of the noisy edges in the mask.
bw_clean = imopen(bw, strel('disk',1));
% remove small foreground objects.
bw_clean = bwareaopen(bw_clean, 25);
% invert the image and thin it.
bw_thin = bwmorph(imcomplement(bw_clean), 'thin', Inf);

imfill() will fill completely surrounded holes and leave exterior boundaries unchanged. imclose() will fill interior holes and will smooth out exterior boundaries.
