Why we're using the toString() method if the data's value is already a string?

Hi folks,

Could you help me why we used toString() method if the data's value is already a string?

// Read the data
  response.on('data', (d) => {

//    add data to the message variable
    body += d;
  });

For me it works without converting the data. I also logged out the data with the typeof method and it says: 'string'
