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).
