Yes, in one very specific situation called Castling.

If the King has not moved, and a Rook has not moved, then if the intervening pieces (Knight, Bishop, Queen) have moved out of the way, then you may protectively castle the king by moving him two squares on his side or three on the queen's, and moving the rook two to the left or right as appropriate to defend him.

There are more pawns on the board than any other since each player has 8 pawns. However, sometimes pawns are not referred to as "pieces." They are simply pawns while all the other combatants including the rooks, knights, bishops, king and queen are called pieces. In that regard, there is no "piece" that is more numerous than any other. There are 2 rooks, 2 knights and 2 bishops, so they are all equal in number.
