I've also never heard of any definitive explanation for the symbolism of the sprouting figure. As mentioned before, it may have well been lost in time.

That being said, there's a lot of conjecture as to what it represents, but nothing more than conjecture.
Perhaps it's analogous to tunggak semi in Javanese jejeran, but of course this is just a musing of mine with no supporting evidence whatsoever.
