Every rhombus is a kite, but not every kite is a rhombus.
The definition of a rhombus is more narrow.
You can say that a kite with all sides equal in length is a rhombus.

Explanation:

Definitions
A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all four sides are equal in length.
A kite is a quadrilateral with one pair of adjacent sides having these sides equal in length and another pair of adjacent sides having these sides equal in length.

So, if in a kite the length of one pair of congruent sides is the same as the length of another pair, this kite is a rhombus. Otherwise, it's not.

Any rhombus is a kite since any pair of its adjacent sides has the same length as any other pair.
