What is tensor? p/s explain.

Moment of inertia is a type of force and tensor is a unit of force that's why moment of inertia is a tensor.

In short, a tensor is basically a "matrix-like" quantity that is independent of any coordinate system, and can be readily expressed in any coordinate system.

I think moment of inertia is a vector because it has both magnitude and direction.

I think it should be vector.

The moment of inertia is a scalar, but for movement in three dimensions, such as a spinning top, the moment of inertia becomes a matrix, also called a tensor.

Tensor.
Is related with multidimensional. When order is 0 then its be scalar when.
Its 1 its be vector and when it be more than one its tensor.

MI is a scalar quantity, because it has magnitude but have no direction. MI doesn't change with direction.

Scalar and vector quantities are also tensor quantities.
Scalar is a zero order tensor while vector is first order tensor.
Stress is a tensor quantity as it requires different planes to define it therefore Moment of inertia is also a tensor.
