Stroke order is not decoration — it determines how the character looks handwritten and how dictionaries index it.
Almost every kanji is built from a small set of reusable parts. Learn the parts once and you stop memorising thousands of unrelated shapes.
The radical is the part a paper dictionary files a kanji under, and it usually hints at meaning. 隰 is filed under 阜 (mound) — radical number 170 of the 214 in the Kangxi system.

隰 means Be Moist, Be Wet.
隰 is read on'yomi (Chinese-derived) しつ、しゅう; kun'yomi (native Japanese) さわ.
隰 is written with 17 strokes. The animated diagram on this page shows the correct order.
The radical of 隰 is 阜 (mound), radical number 170 of the 214 Kangxi radicals. The radical is the component a dictionary files the character under, and it usually points at the character's meaning.
隰 is built from ⻖ and 㬎 (motes in a sunbeam). Learning kanji as combinations of a few hundred reusable components is far more efficient than memorising each character as a separate shape.
Signed in, we would remember every character you have looked at — and write you reading you can actually get through, built from exactly those.
