Strange. Yes, the physical body allows us to experience life on the physical plane for a short period of time, but I would consider the physical body as the least important aspect of a human being.
But then you seem to think of a human being as spirit inhabiting a physical body. Some of us accept that humans also have emotional and mental bodies which are also forms (of more subtle substance). And behind it all there is self-aware consciousness. These are primarily what make us human, and also differentiate us from the worms.
Peace.
