I rooted my phone with Kingroot, so will it stay rooted if I delete the app?

Are you talking about the Kingroot apk or Kinguser that it installs to manage root access?
Kingroot apk you can delete after rooting.
Kinguser can be hard to get rid of/replace without losing root and borking your phone.
Look for Super-SuMe Pro in the Play Store and see if your phone is supported.

You might not be able to. That app is the permissions manager for root access. If you root your phone, it will always have an app like Superuser or Kingo on it to manage the root access. Deleting it may either cause apps to lose root access or at least prevent newer apps from getting root access.
