All squares are rectangles but not all rectangle are squares.
The definition of a rectangle is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides, and 4 right angles. A square meets both of these criteria, so it is categorized as a rectangle. But since a square has to have four even sides and a rectangle has to have two larger sides and two smaller sides it cannot be a square
