Subordinate Clause; Main Clause
Clauses are fragments of a sentence, and a sentence is more than just a clause. When a clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, it is referred to as an independent clause. A simple sentence can be a clause, but most sentences are a combination of various parts, including phrases, clauses, conjunctions, etc. See the links to some helpful sites below.
The noun clause 'how you take car of it' is the object of the preposition 'on'.
For something to be a clause, it must contain a subject and a verb. An appositive phrase does contain a verb. It's a phrase, associated with a noun, which provides more information about that noun (note that in this sentence, "associated with a noun" is an appositive phrase).Another example of a sentence with an appositive phrase is this:"Johnny, my neighbor, planted a tree."A similar sentence with an adjective clause is this:"Johnny, who lives next door to me, planted a tree."
A simple sentence
A dependent clause is a clause (subject and predicate) that cannot form a sentence by itself. An example would be: "When I went to the store" --this clause has a subject and verb, but the word "when" makes it dependent on more information. Another example would be "Although she felt sad"--it needs another clause to make it a complete sentence.
An independent clause can function as a complete sentence because it expresses a complete thought with a subject and a predicate. It does not rely on another clause to convey a clear meaning.
A subordinate independent clause is a type of clause that has both dependent and independent qualities. It can function independently as a complete sentence but is usually part of a larger sentence and relies on another clause for context or meaning. This type of clause often begins with a subordinating conjunction.
Recognize a clause when you see one. Clauses come in four types: main [or independent], subordinate [or dependent], relative [or adjective], and noun. Every clause has at least a subject and a verb. Other characteristics will help you distinguish one type of clause from another.
The phrase "Whatever they say" is a subordinate clause. It cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It depends on the rest of the sentence for clarity and meaning.
A subordinate clause has a verb and another sentence within it.../././././././././.

independent clause
A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. The independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, while the dependent clause(s) rely on the independent clause for meaning.
A main clause = it is independent, i.e. it does not depend on any other sentence. A subordinate clause = a sentence depending on/subordinated to a another sentence, either a main clause or another subordinate clause. (you ask the main clause a question and you answer with the subordinate). e.g. "Can you tell me/ (the main clause) when the book was written?" ( the subordinate clause = a Direct Object). or "This is the book/ that I told you about". (the second clause is an Attributive or a Relative Clause). or If she had know this, / she wouldn't have trusted him." (the first sentence is an If Clause or a Conditional).

An insubordinate clause is just another word for an Independent clause. A subordinate clause is just another word for a Dependent clause. An Independent clause is a sentence that can stand by itself and a dependent clause can't stand by itself.
A subordinate clause is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb but cannot stand alone as a sentence. Example:The cake that mom baked is for the bake sale.The subordinate clause 'that mom baked' has a subject, 'mom', and a verb 'baked' but it is not a complete thought on its own, it is 'subordinate', it depends on the rest of the sentence to have meaning.
