We examine the structure of the percolating cluster (PC) formed by site percolation on a random clustered network (RCN) model. Using the generating functions, we formulate the clustering coefficient and assortative coefficient of the PC. We analytically and numerically show that the PC in the highly clustered networks is clustered even at the percolation threshold. The assortativity of the PC depends on the details of the RCN. The PC at the percolation threshold is disassortative when the numbers of edges and triangles of each node are assigned by Poisson distributions, but assortative when each node in an RCN has the same small number of edges, most of which form triangles. This result seemingly contradicts the disassortativity of fractal networks, although the renormalization scheme unveils the disassortative nature of a fractal PC.
