Answer:
The correct answer is osmosis is the movement of water across the membrane;diffusion is the movement of molecules from a higher to lower concentration with or without the presence of membrane.
Explanation:
Diffusion and osmosis are the two most important process of passive transport.Both diffusion and osmosis helps in the movement of water molecules from high water concentration region to region of low water concentration until equilibrium in both sides is reached.
Osmosis needs the presence of a semipermeable membrane to occur.
Consequently plant roots will get more moisture with less effort. It also improves soil structure due to alternate drying and cooling and soil aeration which helps in multiplication of micro-organisms. This is the reason that farmers plough their field during summer.
Hope this helps!
