I checked on line but could not find any plugin which can help teachers to annotate a text or word file submitted by students as a part of their writing assignment.

Kindly inform if there is any plugin which can help teachers annotate text or word files.

I am using moodle 3.0.

No - that's not the right answer.

My assignsubmission_pdf plugin was superseded by the version built-in to Moodle itself back in Moodle 2.6. It also only supports annotation of PDFs.

As of Moodle 3.1, there is support for auto-converting Word documents, etc. to PDF, before annotating them within the browser. See https://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_unoconv for more details.

There isn't a plugin (that I am aware of) for directly annotating word documents inside Moodle (without converting them into PDF), but there may be plugins that interface to external systems for doing so.
