The osmosis and diffusion are different terms.
The one big difference between osmosis and diffusion is that
Both solvent and solute particles are free to move in diffusion.
But when we talk about osmosis,
Only the solvent molecules (water molecules)cross the membrane.
Hope the difference is clear now.
