Not in all cases

postgres=# create function non_im_immutable_function() returns float as $$
begin
return random();
end;
$$ language plpgsql immutable;
CREATE FUNCTION

postgres=# select proname, provolatile from pg_proc where proname = 'random' or proname = 'non_im_immutable_function';
          proname          | provolatile
---------------------------+-------------
 random                    | v
 non_im_immutable_function | i

postgres=# select non_im_immutable_function();
 non_im_immutable_function
---------------------------
         0.963812265079468
(1 row)
postgres=# select non_im_immutable_function();
 non_im_immutable_function
---------------------------
         0.362834882922471
(1 row)

Per definition of immutable functions, the function's output shouldn't depend upon a volatile function e.g. random().

Even checking whether the output of the function is in the right order or not, has its cost. I am suggesting that we can eliminate this cost as well. For example, PostgreSQL does not check whether a function is really immutable or not.

Actually, it does:

select test();
ERROR:  UPDATE is not allowed in a non-volatile function
CONTEXT:  SQL statement "UPDATE i SET i=i+1"
        PL/pgSQL function test() line 3 at SQL statement
STATEMENT:  select test();
ERROR:  UPDATE is not allowed in a non-volatile function
CONTEXT:  SQL statement "UPDATE i SET i=i+1"
PL/pgSQL function test() line 3 at SQL statement
