The difference between diffusion and osmosis is that diffusion is the passive movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration down the concentration gradient. Particles will continue to move until dynamic equilibrium is reached, which is a state where the particles are evenly spread.
Osmosis is the movement of water from a hypotonic solution (solution with less concentration) to a hypertonic solution (solution with a greater concentration of solute). Water will move to even the concentration of the two solutions to establish a state where both solutions are isotonic. ( two solutions have the same concentration).

Who founded osmosis?
No one founded osmosis. Osmosis is just the movement of water across a semipereamble membrane.
What affects osmosis?
osmosis is affected by the concentration gradient the lower the concentration gradient the faster the speed of osmosis

How does water enter from the soil to the xylem of the plant through diffussion and osmosis?
Diffusion and osmosis are the same thing, only osmosis is specifying that it is the movement of water that is taking place.Diffusion: movement of a substance from a high concentration to a low concentration. This equalizes the concentration of the substance across the membrane.Osmosis: the movement of water by diffusion.Dialysis: the movement of solutes (dissolved substances) by diffusion.

How is osmosis related to diffussion?
Diffusion -Movement of molecules(not water) from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentrationOsmosis -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
Tiny vessels through which diffussion takes place between the blood and the body tissues?
Capillaries
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
