It's also a nitrogen fixer.

Clover grows in low nitrogen soils - it can outgrow the grass because it can
fix its own nitrogen for food, whilst the grass grows more slowly due to
lack of food.
If you add nitrogen (any lawn food, or even try peeing on the grass :-) )
then the grass generally greens up and outgrows the clover.
Clover is an indication that your lawn is underfed, but as previously stated
it can look green when grass is yellow, and the flowers feed bees etc.
Most areas of grassland (parks etc.) will show loads of clover if you look
closely.

So feed your grass or cherish your clover :-)
