The rumen, also known as a paunch, forms the larger part of the reticulorumen, which is the first chamber in the alimentary canal of ruminant animals. It serves as the primary site for microbial fermentation of ingested feed. The smaller part of the reticulorumen is the reticulum, which is fully continuous with the rumen, but differs from it with regard to the texture of its lining.

Yes a sheep's stomach has four compartments, the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum.
Goats have four stomachs - the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum.

The rumen and reticulum are both compartments of a ruminant's stomach, but they have distinct functions and structures. The rumen is the largest chamber, responsible for fermentation and microbial digestion of fibrous plant material, while the reticulum, often referred to as the "honeycomb" due to its texture, helps in sorting and transporting ingested food. The reticulum also plays a role in the regurgitation process for cud chewing. Together, they facilitate the efficient breakdown of plant-based diets in animals like cows and sheep.
The four compartments of the ruminant stomach are, oral to aboral, the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum and the abomasum. The rumen's function is to ferment the vegetation. The reticulum is the storage place for non-food items that were ingested (nails, wires, bolts, etc.). The omasum removes most of the water that was incorporated into the ingesta in the rumen. The abomasum is the glandular compartment that secretes acid and begins to digest the proteins in the ingesta.

The goat has one very large stomach with four parts; the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasum.
As far as I know, the cow has 4 main regions of the stomach: the rumen, reticulum, sub-omasum and omasum. They each have different sorts of functions.
Goats have one stomach with four compartments; the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum, in that order.
