The movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane from the region of higher water concentration to the region of lesser water concentration is called osmosis.
The uptake or absorption of water by the solid substance without forming a solution is called imbibition. The substances absorbing water are called imbibants. The imbibants do not dissolve in water.
