One bigdifference between osmosis and diffusion is that both solvent and solute particles are free to move indiffusion, but when we talk aboutosmosis, only the solvent molecules (water molecules) cross the membrane.

"Osmosis is known as the movement/transfer of solvent particles across a thin semipermeable membrane from a dilute solution into a concentrated solution while on the other side. Diffusion occurs when particles from an area moves from higher concentration to lower concentration.
Diffusion never relies on solute potential while Osmosis relies on potential of solute. Apart from this Diffusion can be occur in any medium such as liquid, solid and gas while on the other side, Osmosis occurs only in liquid medium. "
