Every major construct in Ada has a specification and body. This is true
for packages, subprograms, protected units, and tasks.

Packages and subprograms may also be library units.

A special case allows a subprogram body to serve as its own
specification, so you could create only a body for a child subprogram.
However, for library units it is probably best to have an explicit
specification for every library unit.

The GNAT default naming rules use .ads for specification and .adb for
bodies and subunits.
