The wings are the primary source of lift for an airplane. The horizontal stabilizer of most modern transport aircraft produces lift also, but the lift vector of the stabilizer is usually in the opposite direction (down) in order to keep the aircraft at the proper pitch attitude.
Some aircraft configurations are designed so that the aircraft body itself provides lift. The Space Shuttle is an example of a "lifting body" aircraft.
