Technically, you can use WordPress with SQLite. If you don’t have much traffic it is an option.

SQLite is a file database. There is no running process or anything, it's literally just a regular file on your disk. MySQL is a full fledged database server, something that has to be run independently. SQLite is best suited for when applications need a small database to store settings or data.

You could do it with SQLite, but SQLite isn't really meant to be used concurrently (ie, by multiple users accessing it at once). So unless it's some dinky internal site that will only be accessed by a couple people, I wouldn't recommend it.
