It’s a situation where a wing can no longer do its job, and can’t you know, keep the plane in the air, it should be very obvious why this is an incredibly dangerous scenario

as to why this happens, well air has to move smoothly over the wings to properly create lift, however in some situations, especially when at low speed and with the plane pitching up, the air can no longer flow smoothly, so the wings start producing turbulence and stop producing lift
