What does osmosis mean?
The movement of molecules from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane, resulting in equal concentration on both sides. This process can occur naturally, such as in living organisms, or artificially, such as in laboratory experiments.
Example
"The plant's roots absorbed water through osmosis, allowing it to grow and thrive in the dry soil."
