All cards have a cmc, cards without a casting cost have a cost of 0, such as lands.

@Mcat1999: Lands have no "Mana cost", but they do have a "converted mana cost". Converted mana costs are never payed, they are not a cost, they are a value associated with the card. I'm sure this kind of thing is exactly why wotc is changing "converted mana cost" to "mana value".
202.3a The converted mana cost of an object with no mana cost is 0, unless that object is the back face of a transforming double-faced permanent or is a melded permanent.

I do not think this thread asking whether lands have a CMC of zero, but rather asking why their lands are showing up as 0-cost spells in the deck statistics on their Tergrid deck.
To that point, though the lands are sorted as 0-drops if you sort by CMC and are highlighted if you click the "highlight 0-drops" option, they are not factored into the deck statistics as 0-drops and do not affect your deck's average CMC. Only spells are counted in the statistical tools, so only your four 0-CMC spells are considered for that purpose.

I made the CMC comment only in case the OP did not know that they have a CMC. I have run into this before at casual tables when someone has wanted to transmute Tolaria West to get a land and encountered players who did not know land has a CMC of 0.

Yes, the converted mana cost of land is 0.
