(1) To identify it.
For example:
The man who won the lottery is outside.
(The adjective clause (highlighted) identifies the man.)
(2) To tell us something interesting about it.
For example:
Inspector Smith, who won the lottery, is outside.
(The adjective clause (highlighted) tells us something interesting about Inspector Smith.)
