Can a wing generate lift in excess of its aircraft's weight? "For a plane or bird to fly, its wings must produce enough lift to equal its weight. "

I got that excerpt from "https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/300-wings-and-lift".

My questions:
(1) Can an aircraft wing create lift that is greater than the weight of the aircraft?
(2) If the answer to question (1) is yes, then what happens in such a situation?
Yes, otherwise airplanes would be unable to go upwards into the sky.
