Osmosis

Osmosis is a process which the movement of water molecules from a solution of higher water potential to a solution of lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane, and is present in animal or plant cells.

(An example of osmosis would be dipping a sponge into water, because there is a higher concentration outside, so the water goes in and makes the sponge expand.)
