It isn't, especially when it's dry, it's like the answer above says, it's just less reactive than most things, that's why food won't stick to it (in theory!)
There are actually many things that are more slippery than Teflon - one of the best is the thin membrane layer you find between layers in an onion ! Try peeling an onion and then peel off the first fleshy layer - the membrane underneath that is the slippiest thing you've ever seen !

Technically Teflon isnt - melting ice is - and there are various short term polymers that are better than Teflon but they are currently impractical for viable commercial use.

Try taking a fish out of the water with your bare hands, now that's slippery.

it's not the slippiest, but the reason for it being non-stick is because it is not a very reactive material.
steel is more reactive hense why your bacon eggs stick to the pan more.
