They are basically the same thing however, a rhombus has the sides all congruent and the parallelogram has the opposite sides congruent.
If the rhombus had angles of 90 degrees it would become a square and if a parallelogram had sides 90 degrees it would become a rectangle.
All rhombuses are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses. Likewise, using the above example of squares, all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.

Is parallelogram also a rhombus?
A rhombus is a parallelogram, but something that is a parallelogram isn't necessarily a rhombus.
Is a parallelogram always sometimes or never a rhombus?

What is a rhombus that is not a parallelogram?

What is different between rhombus and the parallelogram?
In a rhombus each of the sides is of the same length whereas in a parallelogram, each pair of opposite sides is of the same length but the two pairs are different.
How is a parallelogram different from a rhombus?
Technically, a rhombus is a parallelogram, but a parallelogram is not always a rhombus. A parallelogram is any four-sided shape with two sets of parallel lines. A rhombus is a parallelogram with all equivalent side lengths. So, a rhombus is a more specific parallelogram. (And so is a a square or a rectangle.)

Is every parallelogram a rhombus?
A rhombus is a self-intersecting shape with four sides. Every parallelogram is a rhombus. The angle of the intersections are the only variances.* * * * *Not true.A rhombus is a simple polygon. It is notself-intersecting.Every rhombus is a parallelogram but every parallelogram is not a rhombus! (The opposite of what the previous answer claimed.) All four sides of a rhombus are of the same length. In a parallelogram, each pair of opposite sides are equal, but the adjacent sides are of different length.
What are rhombus parallelogram and a rectangle are all names for?
A rhombus, a parallelogram, and a rectangle, are different examples of quadrilaterals, that is, four-sided shapes.
