Is there another type of function that can replace turtle.goto?

    t.fillcolor("black")
    t.begin_fill()
    t.penup()
#i used goto to make the pen goto a certain x,y cordinates so i can continue drawing from that point
    t.goto(0,250)
    t.pendown()
    t.left(180)
    t.forward(60)
    t.left(90)

    t.forward(120)
    t.left(90)
    t.forward(20)

#i used more than one function because this way i can categorize the different parts of the drawing

    #head
    t.penup()
    t.goto(20,150)
    t.pendown()

    t.goto(-10,20)
    t.pendown()

    t.penup()
    t.goto(-120,100)
    t.pendown()
    t.right(30)
    t.forward(25)
 
def base():
    t.penup()
    t.goto(60,-100)
    t.pendown()
    t.circle(100)
 
 
 
 
#i called them all together at the end      
drawhat()    
drawhead()
midsection()
drawarms()
arm2()
base()
 

so basically after every function the same commands are used so is there another type of function that can replace turtle.goto so the code wont seem repetitive?

Why would an API contain 2 functrions that do the same thing, that would be crazy and a maintenance issue. What you can do is create your own functions to encapsulate common sets of commands, e.g. nearly every goto is preceded by a penup and followed by a pendown so you could have a function as

def startLine(x, y):
    t.penup()
    t.goto(x, y)
    t.pendown()
 

Similarly almost every move consists of a turn (left or right) and then moving forward. It should be easy to put that into a function (using a negative value for turn left and a positive value for turn right.

Having functions that encapsulate common sequences will reduce your own code and make it easier to read.
