it doesn't. you may have asked the question wrong!
however, osmosis is slightly like diffusion, it involves water molecules.
Osmosis consists of water moving from a high WATERconcentration; to a low WATER concentration.
extra information:
diffusion, is just the process of a substance moving from a high concentration to a low concentration. are you mental?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
Osmosis is a type of diffusion but through a barrier (membrane) while "diffusion" is not specified if there is a physical barrier or not. Gases diffuse through each other readily.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from high to low through a partially-permeable membrane. This is what makes osmosis different to diffusion.
1) Osmosis refers to the flow of water along the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to a difference in water potential. Reverse osmosis refers to the flow of water against the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to energy gained from the surroundings or an increase in pressure.

weener!
Diffusion and osmosis differ because diffusion is the process by which molecules spread out, or move from areas with high concentration to low concentration, and osmosis is the diffusion of water. Osmosis is a type of diffusion relating to water. It is usually used to describe the diffusion of water across a membrane (such as the cell membrane). Osmosis is also defined as the flow of solvent from a region of higher pressure toward a region of low pressure.

When water diffuses through a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell, it is called osmosis. In osmosis the concentration of water will differ on one side of the membrane from that of the other side. Water molecules will tend to diffuse from the high concentration side to the lower.

Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration down a concentration gradient
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.

Really? osmosis.
