Morphology
The noun phrase is compositionally built from 'piece' (a portion or item) + 'crap' (slang for something worthless), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer that it denotes an object of very poor quality. Although 'crap' is vulgar slang and register should be noted, the semantic relation is transparent and follows a common 'piece of X' pattern found cross-linguistically.
Etymology
Piece of crap comes from the literal meaning of crap as dung, so imagining a 'piece' of crap gives a strong picture of something dirty and worthless. That's why people use it today to call an object 'worthless' or of very poor quality.
