Answer 2

Answer:

Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Explanation:

Imbibition is a special type of diffusion that takes place when water is absorbed by solids-colloids causing an increase in volume. Examples include the absorption of water by seeds and dry wood. If there is no pressure due to imbibition, seedlings would not be able to emerge from soil.
