php - Post Table is not Updating in Laravel

After creating my posts, I tried to submit a post, but I discovered that the post was not updating into the database, below is index.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')

    <div class="flex justify-center">
        <div class="w-8/12 bg-white p-6 rounded-lg">
            <form action="{{ route('posts') }}" method="post" class="mb-4">
                @csrf
                <div class="mb-4">
                    <label for="body" class="sr-only">Body</label>
                    <textarea name="body" id="body" cols="30" rows="4" class="by-gray-100 border-2
                    w-full p-4 rounded lg @error('body') border-red-500 @enderror" placeholder="Post something!"></textarea>
                    @error('body')
                        <div class="text-red-500 mt-3 text-sm">
                            {{$message}}
                        </div>    
                    @enderror
                </div>
                <div>
                    <button type="submit" class="bg-blue-500 text-white px-4 py-2 rounded
                    font-medium">Post</button>
                </div>
            </form>
            @if ($posts->count()))
                iterate

            @else
                There are no posts...
            @endif
        </div>
    </div>

Have checked through to see if there are any errors, but have found none, though am new to Laravel, and am using Laravel 8.1, but yet still the post is not updating into the database

Have updated my question, I tried the form action, but it didn't work, it tells me posts.store not defined, though I already made the posts.store in my web.php file, you can check
