Ah, I see.
"Non structural"...like where the wings are affixed to the fuselage.

Precisely.

"A wing consists of two essential parts. The internal wing structure, consisting of spars, ribs, and stringers, and the external wing, which is the skin. "

For instance, gliders, which have to have their wings removed for transport, routinely use tape at the wing-skin to fuselage seam to optimize airflow, as seen here.

Likely an experienced optimist.
