The term that describes the process of water molecules moving through a cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration is osmosis.

Here's why:

* Osmosis is the specific type of passive transport where water moves across a semi-permeable membrane from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. This movement is driven by the difference in water potential between the two regions.
