No, it is not a periodic function. It is a constant function. And, since it does not repeat itself in a periodic manner, it is not a periodic function.

A constant function is certainly periodic, but it has not fundamental period since there is no *smallest* period.

It is constant. If I call it as null periodic function, what shall I call for a vertical line. Even any line can be a null periodic function. This leads to contradiction. Hence it is better to call it as a constant.

If the wave travels perpendicular to x-y plane, it appears as straight line when viewed from top. But still it is periodic.
