Solution
Osmosis:
Osmosis is the diffusion of water passing from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one across a semi-permeable membrane.
It is a natural process that occurs in the direction of equalization of solute concentrations on each side.
pressure, concentration gradient, and temperature surface area are the determining factors of the rate of osmosis.
It occurs in all conditions, such as in the human body or in laboratory conditions.
In the human body, the skin cells tend to absorb water when a person spends a long time in the water.
