GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism.
In order to produce a hybrid we need a cross between genome of two species of strain. While, in case of GMOs, foreign genes are introduced in an organism and is usually maintained as an extra-chromosomal entity or gets integrated into the genome of an organism.
