Some say that it has no special meaning, being just a container for the meaningful items. Others say that the plate itself represents Malchut (God's kingship).

What is the seder dish and why is it so important in the Jewish faith?

The seder dish is the dish which is used to hold the traditional foods of the Seder meal.The highlight of Passover is the Seder meal. This meal is of great importance in Judaism. It is a 3325-year old continuous tradition that began on the night of the Exodus from Egypt (see Exodus chapter 12), and is fully detailed in our ancient Oral Traditions (Talmud, chapter Arvei Pesachim).The Seder meal is one of those occasions, like Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, that Jews all over the world, Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike, observe in common. During the Seder, we keep the essential mitzva and customs of handing Jewish traditions down to the next generation, with the traditional Seder foods and the ceremony of reading the Passover Haggadah which retells the events of the Exodus.During the Seder meal, there are other traditional foods in addition to the matzah: bitter herbs, wine, parsley, and haroset (a mixture of apples, cinnamon, wine and nuts).
