Why zero order reaction cannot be an elementary reaction?

simple reason, for an elementary reaction order = molecularity and molecularity can never be 0 as it is the number of participating reactant molecules in the reaction

But in pseudo reactions , molecularity is not equal to order of reaction.

In pseudo reactions you alter the reaction by putting a reactant in excess which essentially means its concentration is constant in the rate law expression which explains why order becomes different Han then the reaction is complex
