I assume the above is for your NFS server.   "showmount -e" should
show you what directory is exported call it "<some_path>/nfs_share".

Assuming you want to move the exported directory to "/home/nfs_share",
there should be an entry for  "<some_path>/nfs_share" in "/etc/exports".
If you want to avoid changing the client mount commands, you can use a
symbolic link:

0.  Ask your clients to stop using the share
1.   sudo exportfs -u  "<some_path>/nfs_share"
This disables the share so you can move it

2.   sudo mv  "<some_path>/nfs_share" /home
this should free some space in the root partition

3.   sudo ln -s "/home/nfs_share" "<some_path>"
this should avoid the need for any NFS configuration
changes

4. sudo exportsfs  "<some_path>/nfs_share"

This may be an oversimplification, e.g. if you have separate shares
for each user.   If this isn't what you need, show us the output of
"showmount -e" and the contents of "/etc/exports".
