Why is Pluto no longer a planet?

Pluto is no longer considered a major planet because it doesn't meet the International Astronomical Union's (IAU) third rule for a planet: it hasn't "cleared its orbital neighborhood" of other objects, meaning its gravity isn't dominant enough to sweep away asteroids and dwarf planets in its path, like other large planets do. While it orbits the Sun and is round, its location in the crowded Kuiper Belt means it shares its orbit with many other similar bodies, leading to its reclassification as a dwarf planet in 2006.
