Remaining principal (and interest on remaining principal unpaid) is the responsibility of the borrower, of course. The lender whose foreclosure sale did not net the full outstanding amount can place a lien on any other property of the borrower and sue to liquidate those possessions or receivables to satisfy the debt.

Interest is higher than principal in a loan repayment because it is the cost of borrowing money from a lender. The lender charges interest as a fee for allowing the borrower to use their money, and this fee is calculated as a percentage of the remaining principal amount owed. As the loan is repaid, the interest is calculated on the remaining principal balance, which is why interest payments can be higher than the principal amount initially borrowed.
