A parallelogram can not be classified as a triangle because a parallelogram has to have  sides and a triangle only has  sides. 

A parallelogram can not be classified as a rhombus because a rhombus has to have  equal sides and a parallelogram does not. 

A parallelogram has four sides, and all shapes with four sides are quadrilaterals.
