@All.

Consider a rectangular cross-section. Length along x and width along y(Length> Width). Draw you will see it will bend in the Y direction. Since it is thin that way. And moment of inertia in max in that direction.

Moment of inertia is resists of angular acceleration, bending occurs only in min moment of inertia.

Bending: Load applied perpendicular to the length of the bar, causing it to curve.

Buckling: Compressive load applied along the length of the bar, causing it to bend sideways when the load is critical.
