Answer:

Pronouns that introduce adjective clauses and relate to words or ideas which precede them are called relative pronouns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative pronouns -such as who, whose, whome, which or that- are used to refer to a noun, either singular or plural, mentioned earlier in the sentence when we want to add information about it. They usually introduce relative or adjective clauses.
