It's valued less than a touchdown because it's an easier score to make. It wasn't always that way. In the early days, when scoring by kicks was valued over scoring by running (the forward pass wasn't around yet), field goals were worth 5 points, while touchdowns were worth 4 points (and the PAT worth 2).
When you score a touchdown in American football, Six points are awarded. You then have the choice to either kick the ball ball through the goalposts for one extra point, or run another play for two extra points.
If the defense blocks a field goal attempt and is able to pick up the ball and return it to the end zone it is a touchdown. It would be considered the same as if they picked up a fumble and returned it for a touchdown. Therefore it is worth 6 points.
The scoring system has developed over time. Initially field goals were the main way of scoring and a touchdown was only worth one point and was mearly used as a way of getting a field goal in an easier position (i.e. if you throw it from your own 20 on a 80 yard TD pass). Touchdowns then became worth 5 and field goals 3 and ultimately became 6 and 3 over time. I would love to give you dates but i wasn't around so i don't care :)
A field goal (kicking the ball through the uprights at the end of the field) is worth 3 points in American football. There is no "point after" attempt for a field goal. In contrast, a touchdown (carrying the ball past the goal line) is worth 6 points and allows an attempt for an additional point after touchdown, which closely resembles a field goal.
A field goal is when a team kicks the ball through the two goalposts (not an extra point, which is a kick taken after a touchdown). A field goal is worth 3 points
The concept of a "touchdown" did not exist in American football until 1876, and at that time it didn't award any points -- it simply gave the team the opportunity to kick a field goal. The first time points were awarded for touchdowns was in 1883, and they were worth 4 points. The kick after the touchdown (i.e., the "try") was also worth 4 points. Note that the term "touchdown" was coined because the ball actually had to be touched down to the ground in the end zone. This requirement was removed in 1889.
It is usually 14 points depending on whether you make the field goal. A touchdown is 6 points and if you make the field goal then it is 7 points total. So if you make another touchdown on top of that it would be 14 points.
