Default I found a wire coming up from my yard, what is it?

There is an exposed wire that appeared after heavy rain in my yard,
and I am not sure what it is. I followed it for a while and found a
cut end also sticking up out of the ground. The wire reads, "Essex 16
AWG Class K Type TFFN or MTW 600 volts E53446 U.L. Gasoline and Oil
Resistant or AWM."

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Sounds thin, do you have an under ground service? Or does it seem to
line up with some other unground utility?

I've heard that some nonmetal underground pipes installers put a tiny
wire over it to locate later. So all just a guess.
