Millimetre waves are Extremely High Frequency (EHF) electromagnetic waves with wavelengths in the millimetre range.
EHF frequencies are from 30 GHz (30 000 MHz) to 300 GHz (300 000 MHz), and EHF is considered the highest radio frequency band - above this, electromagnetic radiation is considered to be infra-red.
millimeter smaller
Millimeter is a measurement.I have a ruler measured in milometers.
A millimeter is a one-thousandth of a meter. The wood veneer on the cabinet was only about one millimeter thick.
1 millimeter = 1/10 centimeter

We use radio waves for various purposes with wavelengths between 1 millimeter and 5 kilometers.

Those are "millimeter waves" ... radio waves in the general neighborhood of 300 GHz.
We have the technology to do that, but only with waves longerthan about 1 millimeter (frequencies below 300 GHz).

They're the exact same physical phenomenon ... electromagnetic radiation ... but x-rays have much shorter wavelengths. X-rays are the name we give to those waves in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers. That's 0.00000001 to 0.00001 millimeter.
Millimeter wavelengths are short frequency radio waves astronomers use because they can see gases and other phenomena not visible in visible light. MM wavelengths are usually used where the air is dry so water vapor can't scatter the waves.

We would call any wave longer than 1 millimeter a "radio wave".
very small wavelengths (near-infrared, far-infrared, sub-millimeter, microwaves)
They are used in telecommunications for high-speed wireless broadband communication and point-to-point wireless local area networks (WLANs).
A millimeter is a unit of length.
