The correct statement regarding a specific form of simple diffusion, particularly in the context of water movement, is:

**If water moves into a cell by osmosis, it is moving into an area of higher solute concentration.**

This statement reflects the principle of osmosis, where water moves toward an area of higher solute concentration in order to equalize solute concentrations on both sides of a membrane.
