$\huge\underbrace\pink{Answer}$

→ OSMOSIS :

Osmosis (/ɒzˈmoʊ. sɪs/) is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.

→ EXAMPLES :

• when you keep raisin in water and the raisin gets puffed.
• Movement of salt-water in animal cell across our cell membrane.
• Plants take water and mineral from roots with the help of Osmosis.
• If you are there in a bath tub or in water for long your finger gets pruned. Finger skin absorbs water and gets expanded.
