There are many possible reasons for this.

I can see by your screenshot, that not only does the rectangle you drew have completely transparent fill and stroke, the rectangle tool is set to draw that way.

You'll find the solution here: https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/ind ... article=18

And there's another tutorial linked to that one, which will help you set your tools to have whatever style you want (instead of the style of whatever you drew with that tool last time)
