stress is having magnitude, direction and point of application of force
If the surface area is very very small then stress is a Tensor quantity.... -MOGRE
Stress is tensor quantity. The stress tensor has 9 components. Each of its components has a magnitude (a scalar) and two directions associated with it.

We can say current is a zero rank tensor quantity.
Stress is a tensor because it affects the datum plane. When this is affected and it changes, it is then considered a tensor.
In the context of general relativity, the stress-energy tensor describes the distribution of energy and momentum in spacetime. The scalar field, on the other hand, is a mathematical concept that represents a scalar quantity at every point in spacetime. The relationship between the stress-energy tensor and the scalar field lies in how the scalar field can contribute to the stress-energy tensor, influencing the curvature of spacetime and the gravitational field in general relativity.
stress is having magnitude, direction and point of application of force
no,Force is vector quantity
For specifying pressure u need only magnitude, but for specifying stress u need magnitude,direction and plane Remember stress is not a vector but it is 2nd order tensor..........
A digital answer that is with yes or no will not help, so recall the defnition of vector being a quantity which has both magnitude and single direction .Tensor is a quantity of multi-directions. Vector is unidirectional quantity. Tensor is omnidirectinal quantity. So a vector could be viewed as a special case of tensors . Mohammed Khalil - Jordan

In fluid dynamics, the divergence of the stress tensor represents the rate at which stress is changing within a fluid. It is significant because it helps to understand how forces are distributed and how the fluid is flowing. By analyzing the divergence of the stress tensor, researchers can gain insights into the behavior of fluids and make predictions about their movement and properties.
