There is no real purpose. But they are both forms of particle movement across the concentration gradient (from high concentration).
You could say that the purpose is to balance the amount of a certain particle.
NATURE HATES HIGH CONCENTRATION OF PARTICLES IN ONE AREA! :)

What is driven by hydrostatic fluid pressure?
Diffusion, Osmosis
What life function is directly related to diffusion and osmosis?
Digestions is a life function that is directly related to diffusion and osmosis. The nutrients digested are absorbed and distributed via diffusion and osmosis.
How do diffusion and osmosis differ from one another?
Diffusion and osmosis differ because diffusion is the process by which molecules spread out, or move from areas with high concentration to low concentration, and osmosis is the diffusion of water. Osmosis is a type of diffusion relating to water. It is usually used to describe the diffusion of water across a membrane (such as the cell membrane). Osmosis is also defined as the flow of solvent from a region of higher pressure toward a region of low pressure.
What are facts or questions on osmosis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water water moves from high to low concentration
What is the overall goal of osmosis and diffusion?
To reach an equilibrium
How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
How are water and nutrients transported through bryophytes?
Water and nutrients are transported through bryophytes using the xylem. The process of translocation is used for this purpose in plants.
Osmosis is the diffusion of?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
Are earthworms diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
What type are osmosis and diffusion?
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
What is driven by hydrostatic fluid pressure?
Diffusion, Osmosis
What does concentration have to do with osmosis and diffusion?
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
Three types of passive transport?
There are three forms of passive transport, or the movement of biochemical and other atomic or molecular substances across the cell membranes. They are: osmosis, simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, and filtration.
How does water enter or leave the uni cellular organism by diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis is a form of diffusion. in regard to water, the diffusion type would be osmosis
