Yes. A rhombus is a special kind of parallelogram. It's a four-sided figure that has all of the characteristics it needs to be called a parallelogram, plus the extra feature that it needs to be called a rhombus.
A parallelogram doesn't need to have all four sides the same length. If they are, then it can also be called a rhombus.
In the same way ... the rhombus doesn't need to have all four angles the same size. If they are, then the rhombus can also be called a square.

CoachNOT ALWAYS. A parallelogram is not always a rhombus. A rectangle is also a parallelogram and not all four sides are of same length. A rhombus must have four sides of equal length like that of a square.

How is a parallelogram different from a rhombus?
Technically, a rhombus is a parallelogram, but a parallelogram is not always a rhombus. A parallelogram is any four-sided shape with two sets of parallel lines. A rhombus is a parallelogram with all equivalent side lengths. So, a rhombus is a more specific parallelogram. (And so is a a square or a rectangle.)
