A wing gains lift from the pressure difference between air flowing over the top and bottom of the wing, low pressure on top, high on the bottom. A stall is basically when the flow of air is disturbed or reduced to the point that the pressure difference isint enough to create lift.

Its an emergency because when the wing stalls, you stop flying and fall out of the air.
