Parsley, as such, has no particular significance. What matters is that it is a green vegetable that is available early in the spring and can be dipped in salt water. One advantage of parsley is that the finely divided leaves have lots of surface area to pick up the salt water. The salt water itself is symbolic of the tears of the Israelite slaves in Egypt.
