That is because all balances of last year have to be considered in the current year's trial balance after adjusting for the transactions during the year.
No transactions take place in the opening stock ledger. Moreover, opening stock has to be presented separately in the financial statements.
Further, closing stock is not included in the trial balance becuase it is the only item which is presented twice in the financial statements. Once in the credit side (P&L) and once in the debit side (Balance Sheet). So even if you include it in the trial balance it will cancel out.
