The Eucharist bread is the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, Our Lord. The Passover bread is what the Church refers to as a sign of the Eucharist, in other words, the Eucharist was prefigured in the Passover bread. As Our Blessed Lord, Himself, tells us in His Bread of Life discourse in the sixth chapter of St. John's Gospel:
John 6:32-38
Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven, and gives life to the world." They said to him, "Lord, give us this bread always." Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.

Why do they use wheat as a symbol for Eucharist?
the use of the bread and wine as the Eucharist is because when Jesus instituted the sacrament at the Last Supper, He used the bread and wine as it was a Passover meal or Seder that Christ and his disciples celebrated. Jesus also referred Himself as the Bread of life in the sixth chapter in the Gospel of John. both unleavened bread and wine are common elements of the Passover Seder. whenever bread and wine are shown together in Christian art, it is the portrayal of the Eucharist. Also from the Catholic point of view, the Eucharist is not symbolic, at all. the Eucharist is the truly actual Body and Blood of Christ; it does not symbolize Him or represent Him; the Eucharist is Him.

Is the eucharist and the Passover the same thing?
Passover celebrates the Israelites rejection of the Egyptian false gods and acceptance of HaShem (The Creator) and HaShem's redemption of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Eucharist is a Christian rite that is essentially is an expression of faith in Jesus. Some Christian sects believe that the body and blood of Jesus are present in the bread and wine they consume during this rite. There are absolutely no ties between Passover and Eucharist. In truth, the concept of Eucharist completely violates what Passover celebrates.
