Code:
public string GetSiteId()
{
    var rootSite = _graphClient.Sites[$"{_rootSiteUrl}"];
    var siteResult = rootSite.Request().GetAsync();
    if (siteResult != null)
        return siteResult.Result.Id;
    return string.Empty;

The error "Unable to create an instance of type Microsoft.Graph.ItemReference" usually happens because the SDK expects a fully qualified identifier or the format is incorrect.
For getting SiteId from a URL, use this approach instead:
var site = await _graphClient.Sites .GetByPath(_rootSiteUrl, "root") .Request() .GetAsync(); return site.Id;

Or if you have the hostname and site path separately:
var site = await _graphClient.Sites["{hostname}:/sites/{site-path}"] .Request() .GetAsync(); return site.Id;

Make sure _rootSiteUrl only contains the relative path or the hostname correctly.
Also, ensure async calls are awaited properly, don’t mix .Result with async.
