This wording of this question sounds like you may be confused. In the term "carboxyl group", group refers to a specific group of atoms (COOH), not to a group of similar types of compounds. Since hydrocarbons by definition contain only carbon and hydrogen, a hydrocarbon cannot contain a carboxyl group.

Why are carboxyl groups hydrophilic?

Carboxyl groups contain oxygen atoms, which are electronegative and can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. This interaction allows carboxyl groups to dissolve easily in water, making them hydrophilic. Additionally, the presence of polar bonds in carboxyl groups contributes to their hydrophilic nature.
