Question about Multicast RPs

I have scoured the Internet, manufactures technical sites, books, and the search function on Reddit but I cannot find the concrete answer I am looking for when configuring Rendezvous Points in Multicast.

Should the RP be an actual L3 interface on the router or is a interface-less IP sufficient enough for the RP? If it is an interface, what is the best practice interface? One exclusive to the RP?

I am assuming the RP IP not associated with an interface isn’t sufficient however I am uncertain. I am also betting that an IP exclusive to the RP is the best way to go.

Thank you everyone for checking this out, and I am working on a Juniper Platform.
