Answer:

Water moved into the cell by diffusion because there is more water inside the cell than outside the cell.

The de-shelled egg when placed in water swells because the concentration of water molecules outside the egg is much higher than the concentration of water molecules inside the egg, as a result of which endosmosis takes place and water from the beaker enters into the egg.
