Why is Pluto a planetoid?
Pluto, when it was discovered was a planet because it orbited the Sun. However, since then, more and more objects were found that also orbited the Sun. When a larger body than Pluto was found (Eris) it became clear that not all objects could be called a planet. So a definition was decided [See related question - what is a planet] and Pluto did not fulfil this criteria. Pluto is still Pluto - it's just it has changed from being a street to an avenue.

A dwarf planet is a planet that is too small to be considered a real planet, and is more like a very large asteroid that orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter.
