Detailed explanation-1: -Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high water potential to a region of lower water potential across a semipermeable membrane. Water moves from its higher concentration to its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration.
