Answer 1

Answer:

Imbibition is a type of diffusion where the water is absorbed by the solid particles called colloids, causing an enormous increase in volume. The solution is not formed in the process. In other words, water absorption by colloids is known as imbibition.

Answer 2

Answer:

Imbibition is a special type of diffusion that takes place when water is absorbed by solids-colloids causing an increase in volume. Water surface potential movement takes place along a concentration gradient; some dry materials absorb water. A gradient between the absorbent and the liquid is essential for imbibition.
