No, yes it do! All of them have as parent the hip which has the BODY as parent.
And the UNIVERSE is the parent of parents.
If a mesh is orfan you can easily adopt a parent, just click in the menu "set parent"....

Ahhh....so Laura's (and the rest of em's) assigned momma/daddy is an alien from an alternate universe consisting of morphable polygonist hippies.

No wonder they need harnessessesses.
