Default Induced Drag

Can someone explain what induced drag is? To me it seems like a poor attempt at explaining a lack of lift. I came to this conclusion because induced drag gets higher at slower speeds. If this is true, then there is the most induced drag when you are stopped.

I could be thinking about this completely wrong, and if so can someone explain it to me
