[Math] rate of change of area of circle per second w.r.t. radius

calculusderivatives

Find the rate of change of the area of a circle per second with
respect to its radius when radius=5cm.

Source

$A= \pi r^2$$\frac{{\rm d}A}{{\rm d}r} =2rπ$

So when $r=5$cm, $\frac{{\rm d}A}{{\rm d}r}= 10 \pi$ cm

But the answer is $10\pi$ cm$^2$/sec. I don't understand how time comes into picture when we are only talking about radius and area? Why is "per second" even mentioned in the question?

Find the rate of change of the area of a circle per second when its radius of 5 cm is expanding at rate of 1 cm per second.
