Pluto was the planet in our solar system that was reclassified as a dwarf planet back in 2006, after the International Astronomical Union (IAU) decided on the features that define what a planet is.
The IAU now defines a planet as being a celestial body within a solar system that:
1. orbits the sun
2. is large enough to form into a round-ish shape
3. has "cleared the neighbourhood" of it's orbit
Since Pluto did not meet the third criteria, it can no longer be considered a planet.
