What is the difference between Normal and Body Text styles?

[Jeffrey Aschenbrenner]

I'm putting together a template and have read John McGhrie's Word Templates,
A Guide to Their Creation. In this publication, it says to base many styles
on the Body Text style. My question is what is the intent for the Normal
style Word appears to include with all new documents and templates along
with two heading styles?

Thanks for your reply(s)
