Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules accross the concentration gradient in a solution through a semipermeable membrane. It is the reverse of diffusion.

Consider two solutions, one strongly concentrated and other dilute of salt in water, separated by a semi-permeable membrane. Now, a semi-permeable membrane allows the movement of only solvent molecules through it, not solute molecules. So, water can move across the semipermeable membrane, from the dilute solution to the concentrated one.
