The entire line is part of the end zone -- by rule.
Can you show me in the rule book where it says that?
The line along the back of the endzone is a boundry, the lines on the sides are boundries, and yet the goal line is not a boundry but part of the endzone.
That honestly doesn't make sense. The Goal line should be one more boundry that defines where the endzone ends and begins.

Can you show me in the rule book where it says that? NFL.com rule digest: " 1. Sidelines and end lines are out of bounds. The goal line is actually in the end zone. A player with the ball in his possession scores a touchdown when the ball is on, above, or over the goal line."
The line along the back of the endzone is a boundry, the lines on the sides are boundries, and yet the goal line is not a boundry but part of the endzone. That honestly doesn't make sense.
It is a boundary -- it's the boundary of the field
