There is a difference between stalling due to high angles of attack, and having too much drag from cross-sectional resistance on an unstalled wing to be able to lift. The practical outcome is the same however, not enough lift to overcome the weight.

Or not enough airspeed, which is the most common stall condition real pilots face (caused by a variety of scenarios such as too much altitude, runway approach too slow, etc).
