Actually, the question is asked incorrectly. It should be, "What does parsley symbolize on Passover?" And the answer is that parsley symbolizes the tears shed by the Israelites when they were slaves, as well as the tears shed by all of us throughout life's difficulties.

In the seder meal the parsly, or other type of bitter herb, represents the bitter taste of slavery and affliction. In some homes parsley is used because it looks similar to a flail.
