Wikipedia
subordinate clause
A subordinate clause, dependent clause, subclause, or embedded clause is a clause that is embedded within a complex sentence. For instance, in the English sentence "I know that Bette is a dolphin", the clause "that Bette is a dolphin" occurs as the complement of the verb "know" rather than as a freestanding sentence. Subtypes of dependent clauses include content clauses, relative clauses, and adverbial clauses.

subordinate clause
A subordinate clause is a part of a sentence that adds additional information but cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it does not express a complete thought. It usually depends on a main clause to make sense and often begins with subordinating conjunctions like although, because, if, unless, etc or relative pronouns such as who, which, that, etc.
