Yes, it can.

Explanation:

A quadrilateral is a trapezoid if two of its sides are parallel. That's all. By this definition, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and rhombuses are all trapezoids—just special kinds of trapezoids.

It's like how all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. Similarly, all rhombuses are trapezoids, but not all trapezoids are rhombuses.
