What does osmose mean?
The process by which molecules of a substance pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated solution, resulting in equal concentrations on both sides of the membrane. This process can also refer to the transfer of ideas or knowledge from one person to another without deliberate teaching.
Example
"The concept of osmosis is essential in understanding how plants absorb water from the soil."
