In any rhombus, opposite sides will be parallel. Thus, the rhombus is a special case of the parallelogram. One suggestive analogy is that the rhombus is to the parallelogram as the square is to the rectangle. A rhombus is also a special case of a kite, that is, a quadrilateral with two pairs of equal adjacent sides. The opposite sides of a kite are not parallel unless the kite is also a rhombus.

A Rhombus is a quadrilateral parallelogram if all the sides are parallel. It is not a parallelogram if all the sides aren't equal. A Rhombus is actually a vertical and a horizontal bilateral symmetrical quadrilateral parallelogram.

Everything they said is right, but the answer they gave is wrong.
As you asked it, the answer is no. A parallelogram might be a rhombus, but it isn't one unless all sides are of equal length, which they do not have to be to be a parallelogram.
