When someone dies, we bury them by digging a hole in the soil and marking the spot on the ground (一) with a cross (十).
A single plant sprouts from the soil: the ground level is the bottom line (一), the stem is the vertical line, and its first two leaves are the top line.
As a primitive, we can think of this as things related to earth, dirt, ground, etc.
