To be more specific: Your example table will have three header and
three body rows. However, since separator lines are *not* a subset of
header lines and neither the other way round, it is possible to create a
table with two table bodies but no table header, for example:

| Body 1 | row 1 |
| Body 1 | row 2 |
|-------|||------|
| Body 2 | row 1 |
| Body 2 | row 2 |
