'' Think all of you are taking things WAY too litterally. Tenno are humanoids corrupted by pure Void energy similar to the corropted on Void missions but on a grander scale. However unlike the enemies they are able to partially control the energy however it is still FAR too much for them to handle'' so the Warframes enable them to channel that energy into the abilities they wield.

This was roughly explained a while ago by one of the Devs when a fan asked if there was any relation between Hayden Tenno from Dark Sector(another game by Digital Extreme the Devs of Warframe) and the "Tennos" in Warframe and it was explained while the two games aren't set in the same universe Hayden can be considered the first Tenno and the basis for the Tennos of the Warframe universe.

So the Tennos aren't literal energy they are simply beings with VAST amounts of void energy which can be channeled which is likely what Vor sought to do.
