If you are comparing with a square then you are thinking of 2D shapes not 3D. The answer is yes there are other 2D shapes that tessellate.
You have to look no further than nature to provide an example; the hexagon which is the shape that provides the basis for the honeycomb that bees use!
Another example would be some triangles. For example, two equal right angle triangles will fit together to form a rectangle (which clearly tessellates).

Can you make a tessellation with non-tessellating polygons if you combine more than one shape?
yes it can, it is quite easy to pick a non tessellate shape and pick another shape(tessellate or not) that when put together make a square and there you go.
Is a square 3d shape?
No, a square is a 2d shape, although a 3d shape can be made using multiple squares at different angles than 180 or 0 to each other.
Can a parallelogram be a shape other than a rectangle or rhombus?
Yes. A square is also a parallelogram.
What shape other than a square has 4 equal sides?
diamond A rhombus is the math name. It's just a slanty square.
What shape has 6 faces and the sides are not the same length?
Any shape other than a cube.Any shape other than a cube.Any shape other than a cube.Any shape other than a cube.

Do octagons tessellate?
No it does not tessellate you have to pentagons in order for it to tessellate. * * * * * It is not at all clear what "have to pentagons" has to do with this. No polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate. Octagons will tessellate if mixed with squares but that is not "proper" tessellation since it involved more than one shape.
Is a square 3d shape?
No, a square is a 2d shape, although a 3d shape can be made using multiple squares at different angles than 180 or 0 to each other.
Can you times pi on radius square on a shape other than a cylinder?
A circle.

Any shape other than a cube.Any shape other than a cube.Any shape other than a cube.Any shape other than a cube.
What is the length of a side that is 90.25ft squared?
If you are asking about a square rather than any other shape, 9'6"
What shapes have at least one pair of perpendicular sides?
Any shape, other than a triangle can have a pair of perpendicular sides.
What is an irregular 2D shape?
A wriggly line that closes in on itself. All triangles other than equilateral All quadrilaterals other than a square etc
What other than a square is a four sided shape?
Rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezium, kite. Also a chevron, which is a concave 4-sided shape.
Which shape does not tessellate?
All sorts. For starters, no convex polygon with more than six sides tessellates, and various polyominoes of seven or more squares don't.
