Gluten content correlates to the protein content in flour. Wheat flour has 13 grams of protein per cup, while whole wheat flour has 16.
Some grains are used for cooking and some to grow crops [seed stock].They contain fiber and vitamins.The following names indicate whole-grain products, in accordance with the federal government:"Whole wheat bread""Whole wheat"Whole wheat buns""Whole wheat"Whole wheat"Whole wheat"Cracked wheat" (as an ingredient, not part of a name, as in "cracked wheat bread")"Crushed wheat""Whole wheat flour""Graham flour" )"Entire wheat flour""Bromated whole wheat flour""Whole flour"" (cracked wheat)" (note that "bulgur" by itself may or may not indicate whole grain)Whole grains are a natural source of protein as well as a source of carbohydrates and are made into many different kinds of foods.
If you actually meant "whole wheat" bread, then no. Rye is a different type of grain than wheat. If you meant "whole grain" bread, then the answer is "not necessarily." Check the label for the ingredients. Some rye breads contain white flour, for example, which is not a whole grain flour.

Flour - Makes white bread Wheat - Makes "wheat bread" and "whole wheat" if you use the entire grain Rye - Makes rye bread
If you use all whole grain wheat flour, you might get away with it, but it would be much heavier and coarser in texture. There are many whole grain flours that are not wheat flour. You need the gluten in wheat flour to make the structure in whatever you are making. Most other flours if not all of them do not have any gluten in them. What you are making cannot rise if it doesn't have anything to build the structure with.
Whole wheat flour still contains the germ of the wheat, whereas white flour does not. The wheatgerm is where the grain stores fats/oils, which are intended help the grain to germinate again if it were planted rather than ground into flour. However these oils tend to go rancid easily, which is why white flour has better keeping qualities.

Yes, in the common use of the words "whole" and "grain," because wheat is a type of grain, whole wheat bread is, by definition, whole grain.
