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 of 黻 is 黹 (embroidery), radical number 204 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.
黻 is built from 黹 (sewing radical (no. 204)) and 犮. 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.
