[R] does save.image() also save the random state?

Dear there,
Here is a snipped code,
> rm(list = ls())
> x <- 123
> save.image("abc.RData")
> rm(list = ls())
> load("abc.RData")
> sample(10)
[1] 3 7 4 6 10 2 5 9 8 1
> rm(list = ls())
> load("abc.RData")
> sample(10)
[1] 3 7 4 6 10 2 5 9 8 1
you will see that, after loading a abc.RData file that is saved by
save.image(), sample(10) gives the same results. I am wondering whether
it's designed purposely. And if it is, how can I get a different results
of sample(10) every time after loading the saved image?
Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Best,
Jinsong
