Answer:

transgenic organism

Step-by-step explanation:

Organisms that are faced by specific problems or setbacks have been proven to be improved via the process of GENETIC ENGINEERING, which is the manipulation of an organism's genome by introducing or removing a gene of interest in order to improve it. The organism that was manipulated is called the TRANSGENIC organism.

In this question, a corn's genome was manipulated by adding a foreign DNA that conferred herbicide-tolerance upon it. The foreign DNA is called recombinant DNA while the corn that was genetically modified to become herbicide-tolerant is called TRANSGENIC corn/organism.
