Osmosis is specifically the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane, while diffusion involves any substance moving from high to low concentration.
Osmosis is just diffusion's water-specific cousin. They're similar, but osmosis sticks to water through a special membrane.
Osmosis requires a semi-permeable membrane and only involves water, whereas diffusion can happen with any molecule and doesn't need a membrane.
