Does a project team have to be a temporary team?

Based on the definitions in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge 7th Edition, we know that projects are temporary endeavors. There is an implication in Appendix X4, specifically in Table X4-1, that in a project view, teams are also temporary. I read this to imply that a team is formed for a project and must disband after the project. However, I see nothing outside of an appendix supporting this.

Is there anything in the standard that precludes a staffing model where you have stable teams, and the team moves from project to project as a whole entity? These projects may or may not be within a broader program or portfolio or for the same product - the decision to align a team with a higher-level construct would be an organizational decision.
