What's up with the umbilical cord burial in Haiti? does this have a special meaning?

Once the baby is born they'll wait until the umbilical cord falls off naturally. Then they would either bury it under a budding tree or they'd plant a tree at the burial site.
Meaning: Wherever your umbilical cord is buried that's where your native land is.
