No a pentagon is a single polygonal shape, A tessellation is a scheme for covering a plane, without gaps of overlaps, using multiple copies of the same basic shape. These are usually polygons.

Is it possible to do a tessellation using only regular pentagon?

No. Each interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees. In order for tessellation to be possible, the sum of the angles meeting at a point must be 360 degrees. That is to ensure that all the space around that point is covered. But 108 is not a factor of 360 so it is not possible.

why cant a regular tessellation use only pentagons?

A regular tessellation is one that uses regular polygons. An interior angle of a regular pentagon measures 108 degrees. A full circle, 360 degrees, is not divisible by 108 degrees. Consequently, it is not possible to arrange a number of polygons so that they meet at a point without gap or overlap.
