Grass

Grass is the symbol for usefulness; it might represent native land, or, when pulled, surrender or conquest of a land or territory. However, the usefulness is often humble. Commonness, submission, lower caste of people, sign of defeat. Evanescence; quick to grow but may soon be gone.

Also love, taking life easy, as in Yeats and Blake. Under the grass is a term commonly associated with death.
