Similarly, in above sentence the pronoun “who” joins two clauses which are “it is the person” and “who helped her”.   

 

Examples. The most commonly used five relative pronouns are, who, whom, whose, which, that.
“Who” is for subject and “whom” is used for object. “who” and “whom” are used for people. “Whose” is used to show possession and can be used for both people and things. “Which” is used for things. “That” is used for people and things.
