Explanation:

Indirect speech is also called reported speech.

It is the reporting of the content of someone's speech without quoting it directly.

E.g., He said, 'I am hungry.'

This is a direct speech, where the original sentence uttered by the speaker is quoted.

He told that he was hungry.

This is an indirect speech, where the original sentence uttered is not quoted but the content is communicated with deteriorating the meaning.
