Because a rhombus is not a diamond. Really, a diamond isn't a real shape.
'Diamond' is from decks of cards, 'Rhombus' is from Math. BTW, a rhombus is a parallelogram* with opposite acute** and obtuse*** angles and all four sides are the same length.
*opposite sides of the shape are parallel
**less than 90
***more than 90 degrees

A rhombus is simply a 4 sided shape (quadrilateral) with all 4 sides having the same length. It is often called a diamond since it looks the the diamond that in on playing cards. Squares are one type of rhombus where all the angles are 90 degrees (right angles.)
