It is not impossible for a number to be prime and square, The only possible number that is prime and a square is 1, which is 1x1, and 12. Due to the fact that prime numbers are only divisible by themselves and 1, primes cannot be a square.

The only number that fits that description is 1. Any other square number would not be prime because it divides evenly by a number other than 1.
