A rhombus is a geometric shape, a diamond is not. '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∘)
