<reasoning>

Identify the vertex and orientation of the parabola

The graph shows a parabola opening upwards with its vertex at the origin \((0, 0)\).

Determine the range of the function

Since the parabola opens upwards from its minimum point at \(y = 0\), the function takes all real values greater than or equal to \(0\).
\[
y \ge 0
\]
