Can we fix the robot base to the world about a given axis?
fixes the base to the world. Can we fix the robot motion only about specific axis?

Yup, just change the joint type to continuous and give it an <axis>
. See the URDF documentation here.

By fixing I mean, I want the base_link not to rotate about Z axis.

You'll have to see exactly which motion you want to allow and constrain all other axes with a combination of prismatic and revolute joints.There isn't a joint type which allows translation on all 3 axes and rotation on XY while constraining Z at the same time.

I'm confused. Do you want to make a joint between your the world frame and your robot??
