You have salt water because the Seder plate is to remember and honor the slaves, the salt water is the tears of the slaves from the Exodus, when they were forced to work. I am not Jewish but we studied this a while ago in school

Salty water, known as "karpas," is placed on the Seder plate as a symbol of the tears shed by the Jewish slaves in Egypt. It also represents the spring season. Participants dip a vegetable, often parsley, into the saltwater as a reminder of the tears and hardships endured.
