Moment of Inertia is a tensor quantity which means it behaves as scalar and sometimes it behaves as vector quantity
Reason :
Moment of inertia is the property where body resists change in its state of rotatory motion.

Inertia is a measure of mass so it is scalar quantity.
But an object in rotatory motion will change its direction every point to point . Hence it is also vector quantity
