The Body, along with the Heart and Soul, is a part vital to the complete existence of any living thing. The body gives the heart and soul a vessel, granting a person a physical appearance and a form. The body is a medium for a person's heart and feelings to be expressed in the physical world.

A Nobody, a body with no heart.

The Heart controls the body, much like the brain in the real world, so when someone becomes a Heartless, and their heart is released, they leave behind their body and soul, which acts with a will of its own but with a semi-human form. However, if that person's heart was strong enough, the vessel can continue on with their human form, with partial differences in features like hair or skin. A body being controlled by a soul with no heart is a being called a Nobody.

While the Heart is the deciding factor as to if a person can wield the Keyblade, the body can be used in a loophole for acquiring the Keyblade, as seen with Xehanort's Heartless and Riku in Kingdom Hearts. Xehanort's Heartless possessed Riku's body, therefore bypassing the heart and giving Xehanort's Heartless access to Riku's Keyblade-wielding powers.
