True.

When we talk about action and reaction forces, we refer to Newton's third law of motion which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, it is important to note that while the forces involved in action and reaction pairs are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, they do not necessarily cancel each other out.

Torque, on the other hand, is the rotational force or twisting effect that causes an object to rotate. It depends not only on the magnitude of the force but also on the distance from the axis of rotation.

When considering an action-reaction force pair, if the forces act at different distances from the axis of rotation, their torques will differ. Therefore, the torque due to the action-reaction force pair will not cancel each other out and can be non-zero.

In conclusion, it is true that torque due to action-reaction force is not necessarily zero.
