Osmosis.
Osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeabel membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.

Osmosis is a type of?
Diffusion. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.Osmosis is a special type of diffusion. It is the movement of water molecules only from a solution of higher water potential to a solution of lower water potential across a selectively permeable membrane.The characters in bold indicate the specificity of osmosis as compared to diffusion.

Is the diffusion of water?
yes. diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. think of plant cells. when saltwater is added to freshwater elodea cells it sucks the water that was in a high concentration from inside the cell, causing the cell to have a lower concentration of water molecules. a type of diffusion that involves water is called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.
