No, xylem does not contain chloroplasts. Xylem is primarily responsible for the transport of water and minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant, and it is composed of dead cells that facilitate this function. Chloroplasts, which are involved in photosynthesis, are found in the green parts of plants, primarily in the leaves, where sunlight can be captured.
