Answer

A parabolic cylinder.

Work Step by Step

No x in the equation. The trace in the plane x=0 (the yz plane) will be translated along the x-axis into planes x=k. In the yz plane, we have the graph of $z=y^{2}+1,$ a parabola opening upward (along the z axis), with vertex at (0,0,1). Translate the curve into planes x=k, to obtain a parabolic cylinder.
