When pouring a cup of hot liquid, such as coffee, the heat diffuses and heats the cup. A sugar cube placed in a liquid dissolves and diffuses throughout the liquid, sweetening it evenly without stirring. Helium balloons exhibit diffusion, deflating as helium is slowly lost from the balloon. The reason you smell perfume on another person is because it diffuses into the surrounding air.Watering your plants diffuses the water into them so the leaves do not wilt.

Diffusion is defined as the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
Diffusion plays a vital role in our lives. Living organisms require oxygen to breathe and the process is accompanied via diffusion. Oxygen enters the body from higher concentration to lower concentration.
Similarly in plants, diffusion controls the water movement to maintain osmotic pressure
