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.

In classical mechanics, the moment of inertia is also known as angular mass. By this, you can identify whether the angular mass is scalar or vector and the same goes for a moment of inertia. The answer is yes, the moment of inertia is a scalar quantity.
