Communion represents the Body of Christ as the wine represents the Blood of Christ.

In Communion
Yes it is. Preferably, after it has been consecrated, it would be better to use the term Body of Christ.
At a particular part of a catholic mass, the priest changes the bread into the "Body of Christ" and after this point the Holy Communion is referred to and considered as "the body of (Jesus) Christ".
it is called the host, it is the body of jesus christ it is given out when you do your communion. you take the bread when you had your communion.
In communion Catholics receive the body and blood of Christ under the form of bread and wine.
They are in communion because Christ is the head of his church while the church his body. The spouse of Christ is the church.
Catholics believe that communion bread has been turned into the Body of Christ during the Mass, so that is why they go up to the alter reverently.
