yes. A rectangle is any 4 sided 2 shape, while a square is a 4 sided shape with equal sides. A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.

The above answer does not address the question that was asked.

Technically, squares are a proper subset of rectangles. In that respect, any square is a rectangle as well and so the answer to the question is yes. However, if considering squares and non-square rectangles, the answer is no.

The previous answer is not correct, however. A rectangle is NOT any 4 sided 2 shape. A rectangle must have four right angles and two pairs of equal opposite sides.
