body
The main part, trunk, or body of an object, for example a piece of furniture, an instrument, or an organ.

corpus
A collection of writings or laws that form a coherent whole, often in a legal or academic context.

This word has two plural forms that are used in different contexts. The Latin plural 'die Korpora' is used for text collections in academic contexts. The German plural 'die Korpusse' refers to the main parts of physical objects.
Für die Studie wurden mehrere große Textkorpora ausgewertet.
Several large text corpora were analyzed for the study.
In a linguistic context, 'Korpus' (corpus) is often combined with certain verbs. Typical phrases are 'einen Korpus erstellen' (to create a corpus), 'einen Korpus auswerten' (to analyze/evaluate a corpus), or 'einen Korpus nutzen' (to use a corpus).

When 'Korpus' (body) means the body of an object, you often find the word in descriptions of furniture, musical instruments, or technical devices. It then always refers to the material main part.
Der Korpus der Violine ist aus Fichtenholz gefertigt.
The body of the violin is made of spruce wood.
In the meaning 'Gesamtheit von Schriften' (body of writings), 'Korpus' (corpus) is used almost exclusively in academic, legal, or historical contexts. It is often part of a Latin technical term.
Der gesamte Korpus der Schriften des Autors wurde neu herausgegeben.
The entire corpus of the author's writings was republished.
body
When referring to an object, both words can mean its main part or body. Körper is the general term, whereas Korpus is a technical term for the structural main part of a piece of furniture, an instrument, or a similar object. Körper is appropriate in everyday conversation; Korpus is more suitable when describing the object's construction precisely.
Der Korpus der Gitarre ist aus hellem Holz.
The body of the guitar is made of light-colored wood.
Der Körper der Gitarre ist aus hellem Holz.
