streess is tensor,then,what is meant by tensor?

Ans:
Tensors are used to represent the relation between vectors. They are geometrical objects which show’s the relation between vectors, vectors and scalars.It is a geometrical maping of the relations .Tensor analysis ,a branch in mathematics is helping to solve the complex equations in which many vectors are involved

What is a tensor?
Stress is tensor,then,what is meant by tensor? (Rupasri asked)
Answer:
Tensor is a mathematical object analogous to but more general than a vector, represented by an array of components that are functions of the coordinates of a space.
Tensors are used to represent correspondences between sets of geometrical vectors.

Physically, vectors are used to represent locations, velocities, accelerations, flux densities, field
quantities, etc.
