Because a rectangle has 4 equal interior right angles whereas a parallelogram does not have 4 equal interior angles but they are both in the same class as 4 sided quadrilaterals.

A rectangle cannot be a parallelogram because a parallelogram has opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length, while a rectangle has all angles equal to 90 degrees. Thus, a rectangle is a specific type of parallelogram that has the additional property of having all angles equal to 90 degrees.
