Brief Explanations:

An appositive is a noun or noun - phrase that renames another noun right beside it. "A kind, hard - working woman" renames "my mother". It is nonrestrictive because it can be removed without changing the essential meaning of the sentence. It is not a clause as it has no subject - verb combination, and it is a phrase.
