A kite can be both a rhombus and a square. A kite is a quadrilateral (four sided shape) where the four sides can be grouped into two pairs of adjacent (next to/connected) sides that are equal length. So, if all sides are equal, we have a rhombus. If all sides are equal, and all angles of the quadrilateral are equal, then we have a square. A square is a rhombus is a kite is a quadrilateral. A kite is not always a rhombus. A rhombus is not always a square.
Not every parallelogram is a rhombus, though any parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals (the second property) is a rhombus. In general, any quadrilateral with perpendicular diagonals, one of which is a line of symmetry, is a kite. Every rhombus is a kite, and any quadrilateral that is both a kite and parallelogram is a rhombus. A rhombus is a tangential quadrilateral. That is, it has an inscribed circle that is tangent to all four sides.
