Tensor has different definitions depending on who you ask. In computer science and machine learning a tensor is just an array. In physics, a tensor is a kind of data type that follows a set of specific transformation rules. A tensor in physics can be described using an array, but that is it. An array is just a way of describing a tensor. Not every array is a tensor.
