Diffusion -

Movement of molecules(not water) from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

Osmosis -

Movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semi permeable membrane.

Similarities- both move from higher to lower concentration and both are examples of passive transport

What is differences between osmosis and diffussion?

Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. While both processes involve the movement of molecules, osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.
