Why does a drop of food coloring in a glass of water slowly become evenly distributed even if it is not stirred?

The colour of food drops gets distributed evenly without stirring because of the process of diffusion. In this process, particles move from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration. An example of this is the diffusion of oxygen into blood in the lungs.

What will happen to a drop of food coloring when added to a cup of heated water?
The food coloring will spread throughout the water and become homogeneous faster than it would in cold or warm water. The food coloring would also mix evenly with the water faster if you stirred the water after adding the food coloring. This happens because the molecules are moving faster when they are heated up stirred.
