https://www.grammar-monster.com/glossary/noun_clauses.htm
A noun clause is a clause that plays the role of a noun. For example (noun clauses shaded): I like what I see. (Like all clauses, a noun clause has a subject and a verb. In this example, the subject of the clause is "I" and the verb is "see.") I know that patience has its limits. What the man said is not clear. (subject) Please tell me who left his shoes on the floor. (direct object) The boy with the red shirt is who I want on my team. (predicate nominative) 1. Please tell me who left his shoes on the floor. (direct object) 2. Whoever is the last one to leave turns off the lights. (subject) What the man said is not clear (‘What the man said’ serves as the subject of the verb ‘is not’) Where he went remains unknown. Why he came here is not clear. Which way to turn is a bit confusing.
