Self-replicating would be a term that I would use. However, recursive is also a term used to describe a set of instructions within a program which repeat indefinitely or unless some condition is met.
malicious software that copies itself repeatedly
A worm Virus
The program you are referring to is likely a computer virus or malware. These malicious programs can replicate themselves and spread throughout a computer system, consuming resources and potentially causing harm to the system.
Virus=A program that replicates by attaching itself to other programs. The infected program must be executed for a virus to run. Most of the time a system file or a program that you use occasionally.Logic Bomb=Dormant code added to software and triggered at a predetermined time or by a predetermined event.Trojan Horse=Does not need a host program to work; rather, it substitutes itself for a legit program. Likely to introduce one or more Viruses into your system. Sometimes called downloaders.Worm=Program that copies itself throughout a network or the internet without a host program. Creates problems by overloading the network as it replicates. Damaging just by their presence. Overloads memory or hard drive space by replicating repeatedly.

It is called the base.
Since viruses are nonliving they have to invade and hijack a living cells DNA to make more copies of itself. If it cannot do this it cannot make more copies of itself.

Replication! 1) DNA splits 2) DNA copies 3) left with 2 copies of DNA! :)
