1.Michael was a man (main clause) who was wise (non-defining relative clause). 2.This is the cow (main clause) that kicked me this morning (defining relative clause) .

1. The clause "who was wise" describes the word "man", which is a noun. When a noun is described by a clause, it is called adjective clause.
2. The clause "that kicked me this morning" describes the word "cow", which is a noun. Therefore, it is an adjective clause.
