I think you mean IO
Io ( "EYE oh" ) is the fifth of Jupiter's known satellites and the third largest; it is the innermost of the Galilean moons. Io is slightly larger than Earth's Moon.

Are you refering to (13241) Biyo ? This object is a minor planet (well small solar system body according to the 2006 IAU definitions), an asteroid orbiting in the Main Belt between Mars and Jupiter in fact.
Below is the naming citation:
13241 Biyo Discovered 1998 May 22 by the Lincoln Laboratory Near-Earth Asteroid Research Team at Socorro.
Josette Biyo (b. 1958), a 2002 Intel Excellence in Teaching Award finalist, is a teacher at the Philippine Science High School, Western Visayas, Iloilo, Philippines.
Alternate designations are 1998 KM41 = 1975 UB1

Io is a moon revolving around the planet Jupiter. It is slightly larger than Earth's Moon. It never has been nor ever will be either a planet or a meteor.

There is no planet (major, dwarf or minor) called "bio".
Meteors are not given names (they are too short-lived).
Therefore: neither.

Please provide more details. Your question doesn't make any sense as bio- is a prefix meaning life originating form Greek.
