No. A square is a particular type of rhombus, but not all rhombuses are squares. A rhombus has four sides of equal length. A square also has all four sides of equal length, but in addition, all four vertices of a square are right angles (a rhombus, on the other hand, can have vertices that are not all the same angle).
