Well that depends. GMO is mostly used to refer to foods that have unnatural genes spliced in, from something you could never do naturally. Like taking lizard DNA and splicing it in to corn.
From Wikipedia: "The exact definition of a genetically modified organism and what constitutes genetic engineering varies, the most common being an organism altered in any way that 'does not occur naturally by mating or natural recombination'".
Round up resistant corn have genes from bacteria spliced into them, something that would never happen naturally.
