It's not the five knots on their own that are symbolic of anything. Depending on the tradition one follows, there is different numerical significance to the fringes.
According to Rashi, it's the combination of: the 5 knots, 8 strings, and the numerical value of the Hebrew word 'tzitzit' which is 600. The combined value is 613 which is the number of mitzvot (guidelines) found in the Torah.
