That's not quite right. You can omit the parent on any widget. If it is 
omitted, the parent will be the root widget (the one you create with 
something like "root=Tk()"). For example this program works. I don't claim 
that it is good style but it does work.

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()
Label(text="This is a test").pack()
Button(text="OK").pack()
root.mainloop()
