Can you sacrifice lands for annihilator?

Yes, the defending player must sacrifice lands if they have no other types of permanents (creatures, artifacts, enchantments, planeswalkers, etc.) to sacrifice when an Annihilator ability triggers, as lands are indeed permanents in Magic: The Gathering. Annihilator requires the opponent to sacrifice a specified number of any permanents (N permanents), and the player choosing sacrifices makes the decision, so they'll sacrifice lands if that's all they have left.

To stop Annihilator in Magic: The Gathering, you must remove the Eldrazi creature before it attacks, as the sacrifice trigger happens after attackers are declared but before blockers, and can't be stopped by targeting removal like Hexproof or Shroud once it's on the stack. Use removal spells (exile/bounce) before the attack step, tap the attacker, use "prevent all combat damage," or create many tokens to sacrifice to overwhelm the effect.

Yes, sacrificing an indestructible permanent in games like Magic: The Gathering does send it to the graveyard because "indestructible" only prevents death from lethal damage or effects that explicitly say "destroy," not from being sacrificed, exiled, bounced, or having toughness reduced to zero. Sacrificing bypasses the "destroy" mechanic, sending the permanent to the graveyard as a different type of removal.
