"Square" is not an alternative name for "parallelogram". A square is a very special case of
parallelogram, i.e. it's a parallelogram with more restrictions and conditions placed on it.

There are several names for different 4-sided figures, but no two of them are choices of names
for the same 4-sided figure. Each one has a slightly different description from all the others.

Why is a rhombus a parallelogram?

A parallelogram is a 4-sided figure whose opposite sides are parallel. and opposite angles are the same. The opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel, therefore it's a parallelogram. Its sides also happen to be all the same length, which isn't required in a parallelogram, and that's why it's a special kind of parallelogram and has a special name. However, a parallelogram is NOT a rhombus!
