For some reason the core file in my root directory is gone. Is there a way to recreate it?

You really have no need to have a core file on any dir, expecially
root! Since core files get created from crashing programs, having
none means you are running smooth.

Why would you want to?

Core files are essentially memory dumps of a program that failed to
run properly. I believe that they periodically are cleared up by the
system, either by the skulker process or by another utility during
startup.

If you needed the core file for analysis, you probably would want to
rename it and save it somewhere else.

A core file is the left overs of an abnormal program termination. The
presence of one indicates some sort of problem occurred. If it is
gone, it means someone/something removed it. Do not worry about the
core file.

This file just contains a core dump, you dont need to recreate it and
you cant unless the same core dump happens again
