A square is a rhombus because it has 4 equal sides. A rhombus is often called a slanted square. However, it is not really a slanted square because a square has 4 right angles. So, all squares are simply rhombuses with 4 right angles. All rhombuses are not, however, squares.

No. A square is a special kind of rhombus. So every square is a rhombus, but not every rhombus is a square.

Is a rhombus a square or is a square a rhombus?

a rhombus is a kite. * * * * * A rhombus is not a kite. A rhombus is not a square because all four angles of a square are equal and those of a rhombus are not. Normally, a rhombus is defined as a quadrilateral all of whose sides are equal and whose opposite angles are the same. I am not sure that this excludes the case where these angles are two pairs of 90 degree angles and therefore, form a square. So, at a stretch, one could say that a square is a special kind of rhombus.
