Why is `time` not in the GNU Bash manual?

[fakename]$ help time
time: time [-p] pipeline
    Report time consumed by pipeline's execution...

From this, it seems that time is a Bash builtin. However, I cannot find a description of it on this page: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Shell-Builtin-Commands.html#Shell-Builtin-Commands. Why is this the case?
