What does the severed head in Macbeth symbolize?
The severed head in Macbeth is Macbeth's head at the end of the play. Because he was the king and the head of the nation, his severed head symbolizes the severing of the king from his kingdom, a kind of synechdoche. Also symbolically, severing the head of a king means he cannot wear the crown which is the symbol of his authority. By removing his head, he can no longer command. In one production when Macduff shows Macbeth's severed head, all of the soldiers which formerly were fighting for Macbeth lay down their arms as they see it. Had Macbeth only been stabbed, they might still have followed him. (Compare here the legend of El Cid, who led his troops while dead but undecapitated, or the Dracula legends which demand that the vampire be beheaded to truly kill him.) There is also an "armed head" as one of the apparitions in Macbeth, but it is not clear that it has been "severed".

There are only three apparitions in Macbeth. 1. A helmeted head. He is just a head with armor on, he tells Macbeth that he is supposed to "beware Macduff." 2. A bloody child.

Meaning those who are not born naturally from a woman. 3. A crowned child with a tree branch. Again this is meant to symbolize Macduff. This apparition tells Macbeth that he doesn't need to worry until the forest at the bottom of the hill that his castle is on begins to move up the hill.
