Transcendental numbers are numbers that are not the solution to any algebraic equation.
But what about $x-\pi=0$? I am guessing that it's not algebraic but I don't know why not. Polynomials are over a field, so I am guessing that $\mathbb{R}$ is implied when not specified. And since $\pi \in \mathbb{R}$, what is the problem?
To quote Wikipedia "In mathematics, a transcendental number is a number (possibly a complex number) that is not algebraic—that is, it is not a root of a non-constant polynomial equation with rational coefficients." so the field is $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\pi$ is not included.
