When student upload a file in the assignment submission, is that file stored anywhere in Canvas data or is it in a file system somewhere? In the Submission _dim table, there is a field "body", but where are the uploaded files stored and how is it retrieved?

The contents of the files are not stored in Canvas Data, but the information about the files is. With that information, you should be able to fetch it through the API. Start with the submission_file_fact, file_fact, and file_dim tables.
