How high is the basketball hoop in the NBA?

I’m trying to find out the official hoop height used in National Basketball Association games. Is the height the same for all professional and amateur levels?
Also, what’s the reason behind setting it at that specific height?

In the National Basketball Association, the basketball hoop is set at a height of 10 feet (3.05 meters) above the ground. This height is the standard used in most basketball leagues around the world. It’s been this way since the game was first created, ensuring a consistent playing experience for everyone.
