Shapes can be classified in many ways. These ways can be general or specific. Of the terms you mentioned, the most general is the quadrilateral. Parallelograms, squares, rectangles and rhombuses are all quadrilaterals (they have 4 sides) but quadrilaterals are not necessarily any of the others. The next classification is the parallelogram, which adds the qualification that opposite sides be parallel. Squares, rectangles and rhombuses are parallelograms, but a parallelogram does not have to be a square, rectangle or rhombus.
