The imaginary part is expressed as a product of i(square root of negative one), typically following a plus sign, so that the complex number has the form a + bi, with "a" the real part and "bi" the imaginary part.

No. A complex number is a number that has both a real part and an imaginary part. Technically, a pure imaginary number ... which has no real part ... is not a complex number.
A complex number has a real part and a (purely) imaginary part, So imaginary numbers are a subset of complex numbers. But the converse is not true. A real number is also a member of the complex domain but it is not an imaginary number.
A complex number must have a real and imaginary part. It can be in the form: a + bi i is an imaginary number and a and b are real numbers
Real numbers are the subset of complex numbers with the property that their imaginary part is zero. Since the above number has no imaginary part, it is a real number.
There are no real reason why it is denoted by z, but that the real number axis is denoted by x, imaginary number is denoted by y, the real part of a complex number is denoted by a, the imaginary part of a complex number is denoted by b, so there is z left.
