Especially in modern stems, where they come in 2 pieces, does the stem ever connect to the fork?
I'm referring to the part does directly comes out of the headset, does it connect to the fork?
Thank You.

The stem clamps onto the steer tube so that you can move the fork.
In a threaded fork, the stem is clamped to the steer tube via a wedge mechanism. The wedge is pulled up against the inside of the steer tube.
