It is actually the restoring force per unit area developed in the material. Not just force/area.

Actually, stress can be defined as the internal resisting force of a body per unit area against its deformation. Stress = force/area.

Its resisting force per unit area. If a body is free to expand when it is subjected to either axial, Normal or tensile force, then the stress generated will be zero.
Hence even though these bodies have forced applied the stress is zero because the body is not resisting the forces.
