In a way it is, in a way it isn't. Zero, when simplified is not even a decimal. Technically zero can be 0.0000000000... forever, but that can be simplified, so it can be terminating, because 0.0000000 is equal to 0.0 and 0 and 0.0000000000000000000000. So no if it is a whole number and yes if it is a decimal. Remember, zero is a placeholder for emptiness or nothing.
