Answer:

Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion because in both cases there is a movement of particles from a higher concentration region to a lower concentration region. The only difference is that osmosis is applicable to the movement of the solvent only through the semi-permeable membrane where the solvent is water.

Diffusion can be called as osmosis in some cases because if the substance is liquid and passes through a semi-permiable membrane then its osmosis.
