It symbolizes the "land" element of the Marine Corps ability to operate at sea, on land, or from the air. It's something the USMC takes pride in, because while the Navy has a Sea and Air component, the Army has a Land and Air component, and the Air Force has an Air and Land component, the Marines are the only branch to be 100% combat effective on all three. That is why their sacred symbol is the Eagle (air), Globe (land), and Anchor (sea).
