Osmosis is the movement of water molecules but water must also be in the liquid state and move across a semi-permeable membrane. Water as water vapour acts like a gas so this cannot be called osmosis.
The diffusion of water molecules is called osmosis. This process involves the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
The difference between Diffusion and Osmosis is by the process of them diffusing and the outcome such as an example of a sugar cube... In Diffusion Molecules move from high concentration just Osmosis although in the diffusion process of "Diffusion" it uses Kinetic energy and Concentration Gradient while "Osmosis" does not require cells to expand energy, in result Osmosis uses Passive Transport of Water.
Osmosis is the same thing as diffusion, but occuring only with liquids in a selectively permeable membrane. An example of this is that water entering your cells is osmosis, but oxygen entering is diffusion.
No, diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while osmosis is the specific type of diffusion involving water molecules moving across a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules.

Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
Absorption of water by plants is a form of diffusion called osmosis.
The processes of diffusion and osmosis are important for survival because important biological processes depend on them. For example, water is transported into and out of cells through osmosis instead of active transport.
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.
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.

osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
Osmosis is an example of passive transport, specifically a type of facilitated diffusion. In osmosis, water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the use of energy.
by... osmosis is the diffusion of water molecule across and athe diffusion is the process by which molecules speards from area
osmosis
Diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is a type of simple diffusion given the special name of osmosis.
