So electric guitars use pickups to “pickup” vibration of strings to determine the sound. How does the body of the guitar play a role there? Moreover, how does the type of material the body is made of play a role?

Electric guitar sounds are not affected by the body design or materials used, only the strings and pickups installed.
When a manufacturer touts a specific wood being used for the fretboard or body, they are talking more to the quality of the product being made and the way it feels when playing. For example a fretboard made a certain way, with certain materials may require less pressure to hold down a note, making it easier to play. It will still sound the same.
