Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For Jains body and soul are different things: the body is just an inanimate container-the conscious being is the jiva. After each bodily death, the jiva is reborn into a different body to live another life, until it achieves liberation.

Detailed explanation-2: -To avoid bad karma, Jains must practice ahimsa, a strict code of nonviolence. Jains believe plants, animals, and even some nonliving things (like air and water) have souls, just as humans do. The principle of nonviolence includes doing no harm to humans, plants, animals, and nature.
