A rhombus is any four-sided shape where all four sides are of equal length.

A square has four sides. Each angle needs to be a right angle, a 90o angle, or else it will look skewed. If a side is longer than another side, it will look either skewed or like a rectangle. So, a square is any four-sided shape that has sides of equal length, which makes it a rhombus according to the definition above.

Not all rhombuses are square - because their sides are equal but not their angles - but all squares are rhombuses.
