MIOS is a special version of IOS (Micro In\out system or Micro internal operating system) that runs when the Wii enters GameCube mode. The same MIOS is used for all GameCube games and software. It has seen minimal updates in the Wii's lifetime.
It contains a full copy of the GC IPL, slightly modified for the Wii. It performs patching of some games when they load, presumably to enhance compatibility with problematic titles.
