Explanation:
Ammonia instead of not having hydroxyl group is a base because it forms OH- ions when added to water as it ionises to form ammonium ions and hydroxide ions after forming ammonium hydroxide when mixed in water. Ammonia is a base but doesn't contain any hydroxyl group because it forms OH- ions when it is added to water.
