My body leaves; my core can stay
$begingroup$
My body leaves; my core can stay,
Where I shall breathe another way.
The route of south I always linger.
My arms have arms; my ring no finger.
What am I?

Are you a:
tree?
My body leaves; my core can stay,
A double meaning: The body is leafs/leaves, and when they go away for the winter, the trunk/core remains
Where I shall breathe another way.
With no leaves, a tree can still exchange oxygen and CO2, just in a more dormant state
The route of south I always linger.
Route/root is another double meaning. [Via OP: roots stretch downward, and are harder to move the deeper they go]
My arms have arms; my ring no finger.
The arms are branches, which can have more branches stemming from them. Tree trunks can have rings, but do not have fingers.
