In the actuality, when we talk about soul, we talk about something that is inside us, something that keeps us alive, and that is our identity. Most of the times this word "soul" is used in religious terms.
In the time of Aristotle the soul was something immaterial, something that was capable of surviving body's dead, it represents what we are. Aristotle say that the body was only a way to transmit the things that soul make us a person, things as thought, reason, emotions, breath. He says that things like emotions, feelings and stuff like that can only happen in an embodied body, that soul can not work without the help of a body.
So we can say that our body and soul are so important for us, because the one needs the other to function, and we need these two to life. And we can say that soul isn’t a product of body functions, but the body can be a product of soul functions, because soul acts through the body.
