Best Answer

Usually nothing deliberately falls off a rocket right at liftoff. However most rockets are attached to the launchpad by metal tie down brackets, when the engines have reached full power explosive bolts separate the rocket from these brackets allowing it to leave the launchpad.

Multistage rockets allow expended boosters and/or stages to fall off, but this does not happen at liftoff, it typically happens several minutes after liftoff.
