Tesselation (or tiling) generally implies translational symmetry, because you can generally move one part of a tiling over another a specific distance away and get an exact match (ie the tesselation is periodic). A counterexample (possibly the only one) is Penrose tiling, which is non-periodic. There is certainly no need for a tesselating shape to have either bilateral or rotational symmetry: all triangles and all parallelograms (including squares and rectangles) will tessellate.
I'm afraid this is a rather superficial answer to this very interesting question; a deeper one will have to come from someone with a knowledge of group theory.

What is used in the art of tessellation?
Tessellation is a art of mathematics that has to do with a cube that has 4 sides. Tessellation is practice of finding out all the mathematical properties of a cube.

How can you use tessellation in math or art?
Examine at some of the Symmetry artwork of MC Escher. He inspired Sir Roger Penrose, a mathematician whose work will shed some light on the mathematical uses of tessellation.
How is tessellation related to math?
Polygons will tessellate if when joined together there is no gaps or overlaps
