Is Pluto part of the solar system?
Yes. Pluto may no longer be considered a major planet but it is still part of the Solar System! The Solar System includes the Sun, planets, dwarf planets (including Pluto), moons, asteroids, comets, centaurs, trans-Neptunian objects and interplanetary dust particles amongst other things: basically the Sun and everything that orbits around it. Pluto orbits the Sun, so it's still part of the Solar System.
Is there any planet after Pluto?
yes, there is but scientists are still discovering it----
Is Pluto still ninth planet of your solar system?

Why do planet Pluto is not included anymore in the solar system?
It is part of the Solar System. The Solar System includes planets, moons, comets, asteroids, a star and dwarf planets like Pluto. It's just not a planet. It never was a planet (according to the new definition).A planet is a celestial body that (a) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (b) is in orbit around a star, and is neither a star nor a satellite of a planet."Pluto is no longer considered a planet because it does not fulfill the criteria, but Pluto never stopped being considered a part of the solar system. It still orbits the same star, although it is a very distant orbit.
Are they finding more planets in the solar system?
Not in our solar system. In fact the scientific community recently reduced the number of planets in our solar system by reclassifying Pluto as a Dwarf Planet. As for other solar systems, yes, there are still new planets being discovered; Often enough that the discoveries don't even usually rate any mention in mainstream news media.
Why Pluto no more left in your solar system?
Pluto is still in our solar system - it only got 'demoted' from true planet to dwarf (or minor) planet. After we discovered a bunch of new object something like Pluto, we had to decide if they would all be called planets, or we came up with a consistent definition which excluded them. The IAU decided in 2006 to reclassify - such that we have only 8 true planets. But Pluto is not forgotten.
