I know her; you have had a personal connection with her. I know of her; you have heard others speak about her, or you could have met her through someone without having a personal connection.
I know her. It's basically use for you know the girl. I know about her. It's use for you know about a girl.
I KNOW HER. = We have met and most likely have a relationship. (Eg. A: How do you know her? B: She is my boss.) I KNOW OF HER. = I know information about the person, but we have not met. (Eg. A: Have you heard of Elon Musk? B: Yes, I know of him/I have heard of him.)
I know her means you have met her in person, whereas I know of her means you have heard of her but you haven't met her. -I know her mother is a good teacher. -I know of Queen Elizabeth
'I know her' is a person you know well personally. 'I know of her" means you know she exists.
"I know her," describes your personal direct knowledge of a person. "I know of her," describes your indirect, non-personal awareness of a person. Foe example, I know my mother, but I know of Queen Cleopatra.
