In the beginning, Why the relative value's parent is "body"? when we change title size, it based on the size of body even though we didn't set the "body"size as default size

The reference for font size is always based on the direct parent, but in a case of nesting like this, the properties are passed down from level to level.
So while the body isn't the direct parent, changes made to it would affect the "title" span as long as they were not overridden in the immediate parent (the header).
