It is a lookup relationship. You can create Contacts without any reference to any Account.
The answer lies in the differences between Master-Detail and Lookup.
But in terms of Cascade delete, it behaves like master-detail; meaning when you delete an Account, the related contacts are deleted.
In a standard way, the OWD of Contact is Controlled by its Parent which is Account.
So you say that: at record creation level, it behaves like a lookup; but at sharing/owd level, its Master-Detail.

thanks sudhir,
it helps a lot. -
Contacts and Accounts have a lookup relationship but this relationship has a property called CascadeDelete that's why the contact is deleted when the parent object is deleted. Account and contact behaves as master detail logics its a standard functionality in salesforce but on UI it is a lookup relationship .
Thanks
