Why did the Romans abandoned the phalanx?

What is so special about the phalanx?
At the time, the Phalanx was a nearly impenetrable formation. When done properly, as evidenced by the Spartan performance at Thermopylae, unless a phalanx could be flanked, it was nearly impossible to defeat, even with superior numbers. The weakness of the phalanx was that it was extremely vulnerable from the flanks and rear, and any attack from those locations wouldn't have given time to readjust the formation properly.
How did the phalanx and the cavalry help Alexander the Great and the Greeks win important battles?
There were in fact three major elements in Alexander's army - first the phalanx, which provided the rock solid defensive and offensive core; second the cavalry which provided the manoeuvre element for defence of the phalanx flanks and rear, and attack against enemy vulnerability and for pursuit; and thirdly the light infantry which provided the link between cavalry and phalanx which helped prevent either being isolated, and also could run with the cavalry to support and added to the cavalry's attack capability. Note: It was Alexander and the Macedonian phalanx (who were not considered Greek), though they did use Greek and other allies in their battles as the cavalry, light infantry and supporting phalanxes.
