Only if it needs to be air or water tight. Generally a window or door opening is sealed by the wood casing and trim and caulking is not needed.

Why do Moroccans eat lentils?

Surprising as it may seem, Moroccans do not eat lintels, nor do they eat the doors whose frames the lintels support. Moroccans, like most humans, find wood and stone inedible and therefore do not try to consume them. If you meant "lentils" instead of "lintels", then the reason why Moroccans eat lentils is because of the protein value and relative inexpensiveness as compared with meat.
