"She said she could play the piano"

Indirect speech isn't quoting the character's exact words but instead reporting what they/she/he said- It is also sometimes called reported speech

reported speech

[reported speech]

a speaker's words reported in subordinate clauses governed by a reporting verb, with the required changes of person and tense (e.g. he said that he would go, based on I will go).Also called indirect speech. Contrasted with direct speech.
