Why is imbibition considered a method of diffusuon ?
Dear student
Please find below the solution to the asked query
Diffusion is simply movement of particles of substance like air, water etc from their higher concentration to lower concentration. Since imbibation involves movement of water molecules from outside (higher concentration) into the solid substances (lower concentration), hence it is also a type of diffusion.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.
