It is normally used as a rifle cartridge. a .45 caliber bullet is more than twice as wide as a .223, and is usually used in pistols. The .223 is lighter- it weighs about 1/4 of a .45 bullet, and they are different shapes- .223 is usually pointed, the .45 is rounded.

Is a 9mm bullet more accurate then 223 caliber bullet?

Generally, a bullet's caliber has NOTHING to do with its accuracy. So your question cannot be answered. However, a 9mm is usually a handgun round, used at close range (0-15meters). A .223 is typically used at longer ranges, but could be used close-up as well. At distances greater than 20 meters, up to 500 meters, the .223 will be more accurate, if the weapon is dialed-in.
