descriptive clause
A descriptive clause, also known as a descriptive relative clause, is a type of relative clause that provides non-essential or additional information about a noun or noun phrase. It is typically introduced by a relative pronoun such as "who," "which," or "that" and is often set off by commas in a sentence. If a descriptive clause is removed, the overall meaning of the sentence remains the same.
