Reported Speech: The time

Hello.

If someone asked the question "what is the time?"

and I reported it as:

He asked me what the time was.

Would part of the sentence would 'the time' be?

For example:

He asked him what he
She asked Peter who he
She asked me where I
The man asked me what the time

SUBJECT + asked + name or object pronoun + wh- question + ?????????

What would 'he', 'he', 'I' and 'the time be' be classified as?

Thanks
