Changing the DNA of an organism is called genetic engineering. The organism that results is called a genetically engineered organism. The use of this method is so widespread that it has been given its own category - recombinant DNA technology (a branch of molecular Biology)

What is moving fragments from one organism and inserting them into another organism?

Changing an organism's DNA is called Genetic Engineering. An example is breaking segments of DNA plasmids from a glowing jellyfish off and fusing them with the DNA of a simple bacteria. The genetically modified bacteria reproduces and creates thousands of other bacteria that also glow under UV light. This colony of glowing bacteria are all now Genetically Engineered (And freaks)...
