Diffusion can be described as **the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration**. This process occurs spontaneously and does not require energy input, making it a passive form of transport. Diffusion does not necessarily require a semipermeable membrane, although it can occur across such membranes.
