Identifying Irreducible Factors in Calibration Models

A calibration technician is simplifying a machine-learning model represented by the completely factored expression 7xy(y−1)(y+1)(y2+1){}7xy(y - 1)(y + 1)(y^2 + 1). While the technician can see that most terms are fully simplified, the factor y2+1y^2 + 1 is considered irreducible over real numbers. According to the standard rules of factoring, what is the specific name for the algebraic pattern represented by the binomial factor y2+1y^2 + 1?
