making it the dominant part..

Hi, everyone,

As economy grows rapidly, a sizable middle class has emerged in the Yangtze River Delta area, making it the dominant part of the well-off society in this area.


What's the name of the red part in English Grammer?

Does it function as an adverb clause?

Could you tell me what type of the adverbial clause it is; why does it modify; and why there is a comma?

I cannot find the related information on the internet.

I don't know what you have in mind for 'type of adverbial clause', but this one is a clause of result, I suppose-- it shows the outcome of the middle class emergence. The comma is there because the clause adds additional information to the main clause; it does not define it.
