    Was it necessary to specify “stroke(0);” in the Legs section given that you had defined it the same way for the Body and never changed it?

    Yes, you are correct that technically speaking it is redundant and unnecessary.  However, I find that it is good practice to specify stroke and fill colors for each shape drawn, as it leads to fewer mistakes in larger, more complex sketches.
