Entry of water in to the roots from the soil takes place by this process.
Cell to cell diffusion of water is controlled through this process.
Young cells require turgid condition for their growth which is fulfilled by osmosis.
Turgidity of cells is maintained by the process of osmosis.
Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules (usually water) across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. The significance of solute concentration to osmosis is that it determines the direction and rate of water movement. Higher solute concentration results in higher osmotic pressure, leading to more water moving into the area with higher solute concentration.
Solute concentration affects the direction of water movement in osmosis. Water moves from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration to equalize concentrations. This process is essential for maintaining osmotic balance in cells and organisms.

Osmosis is important because some unicellular organisms are rather small and do not require intricate systems therefore it allows plants to easily take water from the soil by way of the roots making it simple and effective.
Salting, sugar-curing, &c. apply osmosis in that both of these compounds are hygroscopic and thus draw water out of the food to be preserved over the semi-permeable surface of the food, from one solution into another, thus making the environment inhospitable for most bacteria and mold. Simple air drying works in the same way, but osmosis is not a factor; evaporation is.
The process of water passing through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.

The correct spelling of "osmosis" is O-S-M-O-S-I-S.
Today we learned about osmosis in school
Hypotonic Solution causes osmosis.
how do you calculate the rate of osmosis
