Osmosis is Unidirectional in XYLEM transport and Osmosis is Bidirectional in PHLOEM transfer..
Mostly Osmosis is UNIDIRECTIONAL, because its the transport of water molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

Osmosis is a phenomenon in which molecules of a solvent pass through a semi permeable membrane towards the other side to balance the gradient.
Osmosis is a uni-directional as the net result of osmosis is unidirectional following the pressure gradient.
But it can also be called bi-directional as water molecules flow both ways trough a membrane.
