Scalar quantities have magnitude, vector quantities magnitude and one direction, more than one direction the quantity is called as Tensor (Ex: pressure, stress etc).

As per my knowledge, stress is a tensor quantity. But please explain clearly how pressure be a tensor? Also is it correct that tensor means more than one direction?

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.

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.

Tensor is a quantity which has magnitude but more than one direction.
Ex: Stress, Moment of inertia etc.
Pressure is a scalar quantity not a tensor.
Ex: Stress, Moment of inertia etc.
Pressure is a scalar quantity not 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.

Tensor = Magnitude with more than one direction.
Vector = Magnitude with single (one) direction.
So moment of inertia is tension.
Vector = Magnitude with single (one) direction.
So moment of inertia is tension.

Tensor: Those physical quantity whose magnitude are different in different direction.
So, the moment of inertia is tensor.
So, the moment of inertia is tensor.

Scalar = magnitude and no direction.
Vector = magnitude and one direction.
Tensor = magnitude and different direction.
Vector = magnitude and one direction.
Tensor = magnitude and different direction.

Inertia is an external force which create tension to the object in respect of gravity it can be in any direction.
