Meteor Template does not output data in each statement

I have the following three files:

The each statement in HTML does not output data if it the HTML is surrounded by template. Removing the template is outputting data. 

//file name : abc.js

if (Meteor.isClient) {
  // This code only runs on the client
  Template.body.helpers({
    tasks: [
      { text: "This is task 1" },
      { text: "This is task 2" },
      { text: "This is task 3" }
    ]
  });
}

//file name router.js

Router.map(function () {
  this.route('mylist',{
    path:'/list',
  });
});

//file name: abc.html

<template name="mylist">
<body>
  <div class="container">
    <header>
      <h1>Todo List</h1>
    </header>

    <ul>
      {{#each tasks}}
        {{> task}}
      {{/each}}
    </ul>
  </div>
</body>
</template>

<template name="task">
  <li>{{text}}</li>
</template>

Why doesn't the template output data with the #each statement?

You are using Template.body.helpers instead of mylist helpers.
Try to modify your code as below:

if (Meteor.isClient) {
  // This code only runs on the client
  Template.mylist.helpers({
    tasks: [
      { text: "This is task 1" },
      { text: "This is task 2" },
      { text: "This is task 3" }
    ]
  });
}

You should also remove <body> tag from mylist template and include your template mylist on your html body:

<body>
{{>mylist}}
</body>

<template name="mylist">

  <div class="container">
    <header>
      <h1>Todo List</h1>
    </header>

    <ul>
      {{#each tasks}}
        {{> task}}
      {{/each}}
    </ul>
  </div>

</template>

<template name="task">
  <li>{{text}}</li>
</template>
