In a UK plug the earth wire is/was the yellow and green one. Some plugs are now double insulated so don't have this wire. Spanish household plugs don't have 'em!!

  -> I would say that the idea is a "click-on" wall socket, plus for low currents (say, "signal", rather than "power"), though I would have kept "roseta" for (fixed) phone connections only.
