Why does water diffuse from a lower solute concentration to a higher one?
There are two possibilities. The first is that it is simple dilution, but for more likely is that osmosis is occurring. In this case the concentrated solution and the water, or a  dilute solution, are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, i.e. one that allows passage of small water molecule but not large solute ones.  To lower the overall energy (as represented as the chemical potential) water moves through the membrane from the dilute solution to the more concentrated one. In a cell this can lead to the cell swelling and possibly bursting if left uncontrolled. There is some more explanation in the answer to this question Entropy as the driving force for osmosis
