The subordinate clause functions as a complex clause element and is introduced by a subordinator relevant for the type of the sentence. Subordinate clause contains either a finite or non-finite verb and within its structure it is possible to detect clause elements( Subject and predication).

Although a phrase (NP, PP, Adj or AdvP may function even VPs) may function as a sentence element, it does not contain a finite verb.

Mary said that the meeting would be held on Wednesday.

Bold= nominal that clause functioning as a direct object.

"the meeting"-Noun phrase(NP) functioning as a subject of the subordinate clause

"on Wednesday"-prepositional phrase(PP) that functions as an adjunct of time (A) in the subordinate that clause.
