请问这句话中by which后面的是在修饰means吗?means在这里是什么成分?因为我觉得means前面的句子是完整的

research is also the chief means by which we humans attempt to satisfy our instatiable appetite for knowledge,and our craving to understand ourselves and the world around us.
很高心为你解答!
划分句子成分有助于理解句子意思和修饰关系：
①【Research 主语】【is谓语】【 also the chief （means 定语从句先行词）表语】【 by which we humans attempt to satisfy our instatiable appetite for knowledge,and our craving to understand ourselves and the world around us.定语从句】
②by which 【we从句主语 】【humans 同位语】【attempt to satisfy 谓语】【（our instatiable appetite for knowledge）,and （our craving ）并列宾语】
【to understand ourselves and the world around us不定式短语,做 定语,修饰第二个宾语】就是说means 是先行词吗， 那为什么要用by which呢，看不出后面的部分有比较的意思 用in which不行吗介词加关系词的使用，涉及一个固定短语：【用这种方式/方法】：by this meansmeans做先行词，介词+关系词就只能是by which还有一个表达：in this way即 way 做先行词，表示【用这种方式/方法】，介词+关系词那就是 in which.
