What corn is genetically modified?
Transgenic corn is the same as ordinary corn in appearance and taste. Only through genetic testing can we know whether it is transgenic or not.

Expand:

Transgenic corn is a kind of corn with stable genetic traits that people pursue by introducing the genes of distant and useful plants into the corn genetic material that needs to be improved by using modern molecular biotechnology. Transgenic technology is the core technology to produce transgenic corn. It uses DNA recombination technology to transfer foreign genes into recipient organisms, making them undergo directional and stable genetic changes, even if new recipient organisms acquire new traits.

Basic definition:

Genetically modified food is the use of modern molecular biotechnology to transfer the genes of some organisms to other species, transform the genetic material of organisms, and make them change to the goals people need in terms of shape, nutritional quality and edible quality. Foods made from genetically modified organisms as direct food or raw materials are "genetically modified foods".
