Because it is a barrier (=it doesn't allow tea particles to get out of the teabag, it keeps the shape).

Also, note it is selectively permeable = it allows some things to get in and out (eg water), but not others (eg tea particles).

What is the process of moving particles across the plasma membrane of a cell by diffusion?

Known as diffusion, in which a higher concentration of a substance passes across a semi permeable membrane to a lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. The other side of the coin is osmosis, in which fluid is drawn towards a regeon of higher concentration of a substance until equilibrium is reached. eg! A teabag. The staining of the water around the teabag is diffusion, and the wetting ( saturation ) Of the leaves is osmosis. Both across the semi permeable membrane of the bag ( Cell ).
