It plays the same role in rotational dynamics as force plays in linear motion. Torque is defined as the moment of force or turning effect of force about the given axis or point. It is measured as the cross product of position and force vector while as angular momentum is the rotational analogue of linear momentum.

ok
L = r × p
where r is distance from the axis of rotation and the p is the linear momntum of the body.
Torque(τ): It is an moment of force i.e. tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis.
We have shown that Newton's second law can be written as
ΣF = dp/dt.
where ΣF is the net force acting on a body. Thus we can write
r ´ ΣF = r ´ dp/dt.
Στ = r ´ dp/dt + dr/dt ´ p = d(r ´ p)/dt.
We define angular momentum as
L º r ´ p
The preceding equation then becomes
Στ = d L/dt,
like torque, which depends both upon the net force applied to a body and the point about which that torque is
calculated, a body's angular momentum depends upon the net momentum of the body and upon the point about
which its angular momentum is calculated.)
