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.
