You just used "tensor" to define "tensor," but also any list of number formulated as an n-dimensional matrix will satisfy this criterion. A tensor is both a linear transformation and an n-dimensional box-shaped list of numbers, but there's nothing such as a linear list of numbers.

Isn't a tensor a multilinear map taking as input a tensor and outputting another tensor?

Also, but that is because math likes to reuse names like Donald Duck reuses his jacket…
