the movement of water molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration is called osmosis and it requires a semi permeable membrane but in diffusion, semi permeable membrane is not required

DIFFUSION

Diffusion is the movement of particles (atoms, ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.

example: of diffusion is food colouring.

OSMOSIS

It is the diffusion of a substance through a semipermeable membrane from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution. This process is also passive since no external energy is needed.

example: Absorption of water by plant roots.

Rinshu124: ok
Rinshu124: . Sugar will diffuse through tea until the entire cup of tea is sweet. (We stir the tea to speed up the diffusion.)
Rinshu124: Reabsorption of water by the proximal and distal convoluted tubules of the nephron.
