Most movement of materials is categorized as diffusion, meaning that materials move from areas of high concentration (i.e., a crowded room) to low concentration (an adjoining, empty room).

Some materials move in the opposite pattern, called active transport. This requires ATP (energy).

Finally, the movement of water across a cell membrane is called osmosis.

Keep in mind, the cell membrane controls the movement of all substances. It is selectively permeable, which means that it only allows certain things in and out.

What are the communications channels that exists in cell walls that enable plant cells to interact with one another?

Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined channels between plant cells that allow materials to move among cells, but communications occur via signalling hormones that may or may not move through plasmodesmata. Some do, and others move through the matrix of cell walls that lies between the individual cells in the plant.
