Morphology
The phrase is an obscene, idiomatic retort whose intended sense of contempt or dismissal is not predictable from the literal meanings of 'bite', 'my', and 'ass' (which would suggest a physical action). Because the expression is vulgar, culturally specific and used idiomatically rather than compositionally, a B1 learner who only knows the constituents would not reliably infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Bite my ass probably grew from the older rude phrase kiss my ass. The violent picture of someone actually biting your ass makes it a stronger, angry way to say 'I don't respect you' or 'leave me alone'.
