Rolle's Theorem Question

if f(a)=f(b) then it is constant function, so every point c in the interval (a,b) is zero.

I don't understand the terms constant function, is it supposed to be a horizontal line or it can be a parabola curve.

For example, when f(a)=f(b) and they both exist at the endpoint then it can be a parabola curve then it break the assumption that f(a)=f(b) then it is constant function, so every point c in the interval (a,b) is zero.

Please draw the picture to describe and explain
