Water.

osmosis always refers to the diffusion of WATER down a concentration gradient.

diffusion can be applied to any substance;
osmosis only applies to the diffusion of water.

in the situation described, osmosis occurs by water diffusing out of the plant, down the diffusion gradient (because the salt water effectively has a lower concentration of water than in the plant) and into the salt water.

Why does water move through a membrane?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The cells need water to maintain their metabolic functions, the way water enters through cells membranes is by osmosis.

Explanation:

The cell membrane is a lipidic bilayer composed of phospholipids and embedded proteins. Phospholipids have the characteristic of being amphiphilic which means that possess hydrophilic and lipophilic characteristics. The most common way is by osmosis, that is a mechanism that moves water from high concentration to less concentration of water.  In the cell membrane, there are is channels of proteins called aquaporins that facilitate the pass of water through the membrane. Also, as water is a very small molecule without charge, this characteristic allows passing a limit amount of water molecules through the hydrophilic characteristic of membranes.
