Questions & Answers about No me explicó el porqué.

Why is "porqué" written as one word with an accent here?
In Spanish, el porqué is a masculine noun meaning "the reason" or "the cause." Because it acts as a noun here (notice the article el right before it), it is written as a single word with an accent. This is different from the question word por qué (two words, with accent), which means "why?".
Can I just say "la razón" instead of "el porqué"?
Absolutely. You could say No me explicó la razón and it would mean exactly the same thing. Using el porqué is a very natural, slightly more stylistic way to say "the reason" or "the reason why."
How would the sentence change if I wanted to say "She didn't explain to me why she did it"?
You would drop the article el and switch back to the two-word question format: No me explicó por qué lo hizo. You only use the one-word noun form el porqué when you are referring to "the reason" as a standalone thing, rather than introducing a new phrase with a conjugated verb.
How do we know the subject is "she" when there is no subject pronoun in the sentence?
The conjugated verb explicó corresponds to él (he), ella (she), or usted (you, formal). Spanish typically drops subject pronouns when the context makes it obvious who is acting. The English translation says "she" because the original conversational context would have already established who was being talked about.
