Try with this

                   onTap: ()async{
                                await signup();
                                Navigator.push(
                                  context,
                                  MaterialPageRoute(
                                    builder: (context) => PhoneVerification(),
                                  ),
                                );
                              },

Asynchronous operations let your program complete work while waiting for another operation to finish, please read more about it here: https://dart.dev/codelabs/async-await.

if you wish to execute the function and then push to another page you need to make signup() as Future and add wait in the onTap() function.

 Future signup() async {
      var response = await http.post(Uri.parse(ROOT), body: {
      "email": emailController.text,
      "action":'Sign_Up',
      "phone":phoneController.text,
    });
  }

  onTap: ()async{
                                await signup();
                                Navigator.push(
                                  context,
                                  MaterialPageRoute(
                                    builder: (context) => PhoneVerification(),
                                  ),
                                );
                              },
