it's a stalemate
Why did this end in a draw?

It’s the rule. Checkmate is a win, stalemate is a draw.

Black is not in check but has no legal moves. Therefore it is a stalemate, so this is a draw.
Hello! I am new to chess and I was playing against a computer and this is a picture of the board at the end. The game ended in a draw but I do not understand why. It was black's turn next and if I am correct, he would have no choice but to move his king and anywhere he could move it would lead to him being captured. In this case, why would it end in a draw? Would black not just simply lose because he can only move his king in the path of destruction? Thank you!
