Is a subsemigroup of a Clifford semigroup also a Clifford semigroup? I can prove that the maximal group image of a Clifford semigroup is a Clifford semigroup, but I am not sure whether any subsemigroup is also a Clifford semigroup!!

The answer is no. The additive group $\mathbb{Z}$ is a Clifford semigroup, but its subsemigroup $\mathbb{N}$ is not even regular.
