    False.

    Explanation:

    Note that, osmosis is considered as the passive movement of water because, it involves the movement of water from a region or area where concentration is high to the region or area of low concentration. This is the reason why it is compared to or described as a type of diffusion.

    This process is known as passive transport or passive movement of water. And it is known to be water specific process.

    That is why it can be compared to diffusion of ions or other small molecules in physics.
